Mendocino is a magical area of rare beauty.

A gathering place, she attracts kindred spirits -
nature lovers, poets, artists, musicians, writers,
and lefties abound.


We really want to represent you in association with the most remarkable local artists and creators. To do so we request a minimum donation of $40 for a six month listing for your personal page. If you sign up for 1 year at $80, we will give you two pages.

We appreciate submissions from the heart of the writer, poet, painter, photographer, musician - amateur or professional - deeply felt and personal -eloquent - empowering - sincere, not hurtful or negative - condoning no violence, ill will, power trips or politics.

You will be reviewed by our editors in your field of expression. Your submission must be in the following formats.

(Hint: please use professional editing, spelling/grammar/presentation. Our editors require you to follow our guidelines. You will be more appreciated with your professionalism than with a hurried submission. The less work for the editors, the easier it will be for you.)

BIOGRAPHYS and ARTIST'S PHOTO: A single paragraph Bio, no more than 100 words (e-mail will do) and an image of yourself at 200 pixel width not to exceed 260 pixels in height as an e-mail attachment. Or by CD include BIO and portrait along with your submission.
