Category: Calls for Submissions

Cemetery Gates has been doing well. I am ready to announce the next issues theme: spirits. I am not talking about techno-spiritualism: machines that go beep and bloop, garbled messages you think mean something or trying to make a profit off of people’s vulnerability. I will be discussing spirituality, the afterlife, making connections to the ones we love after they are gone.

Would you like to submit? If you have ever gotten a message/sign/something tangible from a dearly departed loved one please share your story. I am looking for short & sweet: 50 – 100 words. If I use your story you will get a copy once the zine is completed. Submissions are due via email by June 15 2015. Email me at: missmuffcake[a]aol.com with submissions or any questions. Thank you!

Looking for submissions for a self-care/positivity zine about the little things that make blue days better. This can be things you do, things you wear, sensations, sounds, songs, etc, – anything that makes you feel safer, warmer, stronger, and a little bit better.

I’m looking mostly for things that are short and sweet – art, poems, photos, etc – but feel free to submit short stories or essays if yr feeling loquacious. The final pages will be printed 4×4 in., b&w, so please make sure yr submissions are square (or let me know it’s okay to reformat).

All contributors will receive a free copy of the zine, which has a tentative release date of June 5. Please send submissions to annnamaize@gmail.com by May 25. Let me know if you have any questions!

Born in the murky swamps of the suburbs and raised on a steady diet of trash TV, hypersexual R&B, and Pop Rocks, Jenny and Molly now live and work in Brooklyn, NY. They created Grown Ass Lady as a place to obsess about all things sleazy, strange, and beautiful.

Dear Anonymous has a rolling, open submission, so you can submit your letters at any time!

DA4 is on its way, and you still have time to get your letters in. These letters can be confessionals, but they can also be whatever you like them to be. Write to your life, write to your cat, write to your past or your future… Dear Anonymous is about writing the letters of the things you can’t say for whatever reason.

Basically, you’re right in the 1 – 500 words range, but shorter is better. BUT, this zine is about expression, and I don’t want to force anyone to clamp down on their passion just for me. I’m flexible.

Send letters to theauthor at inkyblots.com If I don’t respond to you within a few days, comment here.

All contributors will receive a PDF copy.

Hi guys. I’m currently in the midst of putting together a zine called ‘The Doomsday Book’. It focuses on the cult movie Times Square (1980) and it’s main star Robin Johnson. It’ll be a one-off effort, A5, and B&W. My main goal is to have this ready to go at least a month before Robin’s next birthday (May 30th) as I will be sending a copy to her via a relative of hers. I’m basically looking to include other people’s personal experiences in regards to the movie, the impact it’s had on your life etc. Poems and artwork are also welcome. I don’t want to push the deadline back any further than the end of April, so please contact me ASAP if you have any interest in this project. Also, feel free to ask me any questions. I’ll include the movie in a youtube link for those of you who have no idea what I’m referring to (and I’m sure there’s plenty of you). Times Square (1980) [full movie] Many thanks, Sarah. xoxo (timessquarezine@yahoo.co.uk)

I’m writing a zine on Dominant / Submissive desires and unpicking abuse. I’m happy to collaborate with anyone, any feedback would be great.

Ever had kinky sex and it’s brought up painful memories of abuse?

Had a partner misunderstand your kinks as you wanting to be demeaned, humiliated, tortured?

Struggle with not being able to find an outlet for your sexuality, been let down by the prospect of getting to let go and felt pushed into not nice territory?

Struggled to align your feminist identity with submissive desires?

Mainly looking for experiences in first person; examples from me and other articles of what I’m looking for below, download this link for more – Abuse and Desire 3 experience (zoom out; meant for skip reading, very muddy stream of consciousness)

Do you have a call for submissions for your zine? Let me know!

I’m working on a zine called Clockpuncher, which is all about finding ways to prioritize creative pursuits when you work an imagination-sucking 9-to-5 job. I’m looking for any submissions that fit the general theme.

Examples of content that would be appropriate:

– Practical tips and tricks for squeezing creative endeavours into your day

– Personal stories and narratives (in any format.. essays, comics, poems, etc.)

– ART. Send me your art.

– Honestly, the zine is about creativity, so I’m not going to stifle yours. Send me whatever floats your boat.

I will send a copy to everyone who contributes. Please submit to adrienne.weatherston@gmail.com by March 22!

Looking for personal experiences or ideas written in first person, to go into a zine by male identified people about unpicking societies conditioning and sexual abuse. All comments, collaborators welcome, email me at tedmullin@hotmail.co.uk

Mock up draft of what the zine could look like with subject ideas I’d like to write about. Male Survivors *Download link of articles I’m interested in, not for publication, I don’t own texts.*

I won’t edit your stories only copy and paste. I’d like 50% to be dedicated to unpicking abuse and learning good consent. But not necessary to include in every text if you feel your story stands alone as valuable experience.
