Category: Calls for Submissions

It’ll make you lucky! This time around, listen to the storm.

Is it booming out loud or a quiet patter of rain?

Does it dispel the humidity or bring more?

Do you feel your head clearing or your heart beating?

Whatever and wherever the storm is to you, now is the time to pay attention to sound. Perhaps there are raucous storms where you previously believed there existed a pearly pool of calm. I’ll be writing a follow-up piece with more ideas for you on how to begin listening and increase your listening fun.

Send your answers (photos, doodles, sound recordings, poems, lyrics, short prose, found objects) to simplynotjaded@gmail.com. They can be your original work or the work of another artist/author/musician who addresses the question.

All contributors get a free physical copy in the mail along with endless love and ice cream.

Happy listening!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: ZINE OF THE HILL (better title tbd)

Did anyone else cry when Netflix took down King of the Hill?

Looking for fan art/fiction, conspiracy theories, love poems, short essays, memes, and good memories about one of the greatest shows of all time, King of the Hill. The show went off the air six years ago after thirteen seasons, and is gone (from Netflix) but not forgotten.

Ideally I’d like to have this done for San Francisco Zine Fest 2016, so deadline is ~August 20 (that’s two whole months). Hit me up @ queeranxietybabiezdistro@gmail if you have any questions! Please share with your networks or anyone you think may be interested ^_^

Calling all badnaami babes, ‪#‎curryscentedcreatives‬, and rule-breaking desis of all tangled subcontinent identities – the very first edition of gaali gang zine is seeking submissions!

We accept any sort of art or writing, including prose, essays, poetry, reviews, drawings/doodles, short stories, photography, critiques, interviews, or anything else you can think of! Submissions are open to anyone who identifies as Desi or South Asian, in any sort of way possible. It doesn’t matter where you were born or what languages you do (or don’t) speak. This zine is an inclusive space for individuals regardless of age, gender identity, sexuality, religion, color, or background.

Please submit pieces for consideration to gaaligang@gmail.com by August 31 at midnight. Feel free to email us if you have any questions or share and spread the word!

gaali gang is a radical zine focused on sharing the experiences of diasporic South Asian identities, no matter how non-traditional or rebellious they may be. Our first issue will be available in fall 2016.
