Helping
KJ
Since Kyoto Journal was founded, in
1986, it has been
a completely volunteer-run, non-profit publication.
Over
the years, the magazine has attracted a community of people with shared
ideals and commitment. Some of us live in Kyoto; others elsewhere in
Asia and beyond. Everyone has different talents, and contributes a different
consciousness to the magazine.
We
invite you to join our community
and help us to develop KJ further.
If
you would like to contribute writing or visual material to KJ, please
read our submission guidelines.
If
you would like to help Kyoto Journal, here are a few things you
could do, no matter where you are located:
Help get the word out about KJ:
Subscribe:
For yourself, for an institution, for a friend…
Introduce people to KJ:
Lend copies to a friend, tell your favorite café about our free
café subscription offer, give a copy to a colleague or business
contact as a present…
Check if bookstores in your area have
KJ — if they don't, tell them that, as
a customer (not as a representative of KJ), you would like to
see this magazine on their shelves, and send us their contact information.
Introduce potential interns
(in Kyoto area)
Provide contacts: put
us in touch with people and publications that could review KJ
Give us new Asian
perspectives:
Introduce
Asian-based writers’ and artists’ work to KJ
Write
us a letter telling us what you like about KJ, or what you feel needs
changing
Write/find/translate
a one-page piece for possible publication
Send
in your favorite quotes by Asian writers / about an Asian topic (we
will consider them for our Voices page)
Scout
articles and images from local publications in an Asian language, websites
or old bookracks… if you see something you like that seems suitable
(even if it needs to be translated), please send it to Kyoto Journal.
Look here for specific KJ contacts.
And
check out our KJ News page for upcoming events
etc...
