     The Birch Clump Villager is a literary and art magazine. This periodical feature guest authors and stories I write. It is a hobby publication, and therefore, new issues come out at random. I no longer schedule a monthly or bi-monthly production. I wait until I have quality material to share.
     The BC Villager scope includes promotion of interesting businesses in small towns and rural settings. I give Native American and North Country locations preference, particularly in the upper Great Lakes region. However, the magazine is not limited to these topics.
     If you have a service-oriented business or unique operation, let me know. This may be a restaurant, art or craft studio, gallery or store, a bakery or grocery. Include pictures.

Digest Format
     The dimensions are 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Most issues have twelve to sixteen pages, (including covers). The price per copy and issue ranges from $2.25 to $3.75 depending on the number of pages involved.

Free Services:
     I do not charge, not to I pay for any materials accepted for publication. The magazine circulation is too small to charge you, or for me to pay for materials.
     Aspiring authors and artists, as well as established professionals can use this magazine to promote their work. Businesses are asked to provide a story about their store, gallery or services. They may write their own copy, or contact me for assistance in writing up their operation.

Submission Policy:
     Rule Number One:
     Contact me before submitting ay materials for publication. We can discuss details, and I can answer your questions before you decide to send me materials for the magazine. I will probably delete unsolicited material because I do not have the time to read dozens of manuscripts; less so hundreds if this became popular.

V.2 2012 BC Chronicle

By Joshua Seidl in Birch Clump Chronicle

12 pages, published 11/27/2012

The definition of Cultural Slavery and Institutional Racism is presented to assist groups and organizations promote cultural diversity. This issue focuses specifically on Native American cultural concerns within non-Indigenous USA and Canadian schools and religious organizations and incorporations.

V.3 Birch Clump Villager

By Joshua Seidl in Birch Clump Villager

16 pages, published 6/23/2012

Two short stories. "Lorrainne" by Sherris Neary starts soft but has a jarring climax. Drama at its best. "Like a Dog" is a sample of Joshua Seidl's humor. It makes light of an office of washed-out characters. Front cover portrait and other art are by Joshua.
