Sample Issue: "Revelation"


Cover for Spring 2008 Eye Contact - click to download 2mb pdf

Because we are combining the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 issues of Eye Contact into a special "double issue" in celebration of the magazine's 20th anniversary, no magazine was published in Fall 2008. Yet many have missed their fix of the magazine. To tide you over -- and to inspire a new submission for (our fast-approaching Feb 6th deadline) we are offering an electronic copy of the galleys from the Spring 2008 "Revelation" issue, in Adobe .pdf format (warning: it is a large, 2 megabyte file). Note that because these are "galleys" the pages are arranged as they are laid out for the printer, not in sequential reading order.

Enjoy. Thanks go out to all contributors for sharing their "revealing" work.

We want you to be open with your creativity in tackling this theme. But please hurry with your submissions; the countdown to the end has begun.
