Are you funny? Does that one guy at work think you're just the most hilarious thing since sliced bread? Can you hold a pencil or even use one of these new computers???

If you answered YES (or even MAYBE...) to one or more of the above questions, please continue!

Just Laugh magazine is always looking for new talent to add to our already impressive team and who knows, maybe you've got what it takes to become one of us! Our contributing staff is comprised of some of the best in the business and if you think you might be able to add to that, we'd love to hear what you've got to say. What exactly are we looking for???

Please click here for the current complete list of positions available here at Just Laugh...

Of course, we're also happy to hear about your favorite links, quotes, jokes and other miscellaneous nonsense, but if you're looking to make regular contributions, there's the list at this point. If, however, you do or create something truly amazing which you think belongs in Just Laugh, please let us know and we'd be happy to consider whatever it is you have to offer.

Ok, so I actually do write a weekly humor column (or one of the other items listed above)...how exactly do I go about submitting my work to Just Laugh?

Please send all submissions to: submissions@justlaugh.com
Attach no more than three (3) samples of your work
Limit the size of your attachments to less than 100 KB each...if we want more, we'll ask!!!
Include links back to your website, anyone else that might already syndicate your work and anything else you think we should know about...

Other Frequently Asked Questions About Submissions...

How much do you pay for submissions?

Well, in actual dollars, we're currently paying approximately zilch (zippo, nadda, nothing) for each piece published.
That's not to say that we're not compensating our contributors - we primarily offer exposure and advertising promotions as means of giving back to those that make this magazine possible.
Point blank - if you're solely concerned about the almighty dollar, then Just Laugh isn't the publication for you.

I'm new to all of this / I've never been published anywhere before. Would you consider publishing my work?

Absolutely! One of the most rewarding aspects of this job is being able to help out new folks and give them the exposure they deserve, so don't be shy. Unlike other publications, we're actively looking for outside talent and are always willing to listen to new ideas...

What sorts of guidelines pertain to new submissions?

A complete set of guidelines will be sent if/when we accept your work, but as a general rule, try to stay under 1000 words and go easy on the foul language. Plain text is also preferred. Oh yes, and it should be funny, too!

Seriously, how much do you guys pay?

Even if we did pay, we choose not to work with annoying people. If the day comes when we are able to start paying our contributors, it will already be too late for you...
NOTE: If you want your submission to find the fastest route possible to our garbage can, repeatedly ask about this issue.

My question isn't listed in the 'Frequently Asked Questions'...

Please direct any further inquiries to submissions@justlaugh.com and we'll try to include them in the next copy.

Lastly, we should also mention that we're often looking for full-time people to aid with the general operations of our website in staff positions. Although these don't pay, either, if you're really interested in getting into the swing of things, please contact us with your ideas and we'll see what we can come up with. We're typically always looking for a variety of graphic designers, freelance writers and other Internet geeks, but as the list changes daily, drop us a line and we'll talk...

All staff-related questions should be directed to:
editors@justlaugh.com

Thanks again for your interest in contributing to Just Laugh magazine!
We look forward to hearing from you soon...

NOTE: A quick bit concerning plagiarism -- we love the classics as much as everyone else does, and we try our best to incorporate these into our format, but there are certain guidelines that must be followed in order to reprint copyrighted materials and unfortunately, simply retyping them and changing the author isn't good enough. Please respect the rights of others and don't bother submitting pieces that aren't original. You'll only be bringing us all into a world of pain...
