Welcome visitors! At home
on 221b Baker Street where Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson reside.
The Gazette is a journal devoted
to Sherlockiana. This is the (free) on-line version. New additions
will be added monthly. Aficionados will find articles, reviews
(books/zines/ websites/films), news items, interviews, poetry, fiction, artwork,
photos, plus a recommended list of links. It is one of several print
publications published by Baker Street
Publications--Sleuth Journal,
Jack the Ripper Gazette, etc. The
publishing company was founded in January, 1983. These zines are also
available (free) on-line. Their locations will be listed in our links list.
The
Gazette(print versions)has been published irregularly since 1986. The internet offers
an opportunity to publish it on a regular basis. We welcome Sherlockian
societies to send us information regarding their organizations. We
would also like to receive information from other publishers (both on and
off the net) regarding their Sherlockian publications and from collectors
of Sherlockiana regarding their collections. Experienced and talented
amateur writers & artists are welcome to send submissions. We will
include a variety of articles about Sherlockian interests, a large selection
of reviews, and interviews with writers/ publishers/collectors, etc. Any
style poetry is acceptable. Stories should be set in either Victorian
times or contemporary. No science fiction please. There are no
strict length requirements submissions. Artwork should be in black
pen & ink if send via regular mail. If sent e-mail it can be pen
& ink art that was scanned or computer art (color is okay). Photos
of Sherlockian sites or collections are welcome, too. For further
information or more detailed guidelines contact us at:
zinester@zworg.com or
zinester@buzzle.com or
zinester@mochamail.com
Otherwise, request our regular mailing address. Enclose a S.A.S.E. with all
inquiries.
New additions are added monthly. Included are a selection of submissions
from back issues of the Gazette along
with the current issue. We are seeking submissions on a regular
basis. Since this is a small press publication we only pay in
free copies of our print version which is lengthier than the on-line version.
(We originally were a paying market for non-fiction and artwork despite
being a small press publisher. However, times were tough will the economy
for several years and we quit paying fees. We hope to change back to
a paying market sometime in late 2006.)
NOTE: This site is dedicated in memory of John Bennett Shaw. Without
his assistance as an advisor, putting us in contact with other Sherlockians,
and spreading information about us by word of mouth we would never have
succeeded with Baker Street
Gazette.
Have a cup of tea while you
enjoy our offerings.
