Liz Hazel is the new Editor of the ATA Quarterly Journal and has made this announcement:
Greetings!
I'm the new editor of the ATA Quarterly Journal, and working with our new fearless leader (Arwen) and the other members of the ATA team, we're seeking creative and talented writers to help us
continue to deliver a great hard copy publication for the ATA membership. The new Submission Guidelines and issue deadlines are given below. Please feel free to cross-post this to other tarot lists or to other tarotists who might be interested.
An exciting new feature we're going to try is tarot cover art. If you're an artist working on a new tarot deck, please consider submitting a card - details below.
We're also developing a schedule of advertising rates, which will be available soon. If you're the author of a tarot book or a tarot deck artist, let your publisher know that this is a great way to spread the word about your book or deck.
