Date: Thu, 24 Jul 1997 21:18:26 -0700 (PDT) From: Alan Bell Subject: Press Release: New Issue of Black Gay Magazine NEW ISSUE OF BLACK GAY MAGAZINE HITS THE STANDS The fifth issue of Blackfire, the adult entertainment magazine for black men in the life, has just come off the press! Blackfire publishes erotic images, experiences and fantasies of black men who are "in the life," an expression that has been used to describe black gay and bisexual men since the Harlem Renaissance. This new issue of Blackfire features the fiction, non-fiction, poetry and photography that men all over the country are waiting to read. Since black lesbian and gay literature has never been more popular, we're sure that you will want to bring word of Blackfire to your readers. In addition, if one of the Blackfire contributors is a local resident, you might consider running a feature on that person. Blackfire accepts ongoing submissions of fiction, non-fiction, artwork and photography. More information on submission procedures is available by calling for writing for the Blackfire Guidelines for Submission. In publication since 1992, Blackfire is the only explicit black gay magazine that is published by a black gay company. It remains the classiest of the explicit black gay titles with content that is challenging and production values that are high. Blackfire is a publication of the BLK Publishing Company, Box 83912, Los Angeles, CA 90083-0912. Telephone: 310-410-0808. Fax: 310-410-9250. E-mail: newsroom@blk.com. Website: www.blk.com.
