Guidelines
- The zine’s pages are letter-sized (8 1/2 x 11 inches), so any artwork or photography submitted should fit on a letter-sized page.
- Essays should be 500-1000 words.
- Submissions should be based on anything grrrl/woman related. This includes things that have happened to you personally, things you have dealt with personally, women’s health, women’s issues, etc., and can involve any topic — examples above — no matter how dark. Chances are, you aren’t the only one who has gone through it, and your words might help someone else.
- Hot topics and political topics are acceptable and encouraged, however, they should be well-researched, well thought out, and factual. In other words, don’t list a bunch of talking points as your reasons for being for or against something. And if you do give a personal opinion, provide clarification that it is your opinion.
- We realize women’s issues and punk ideologies typically fall on the left (liberal) side of the spectrum, but in an effort to be open-minded and fair, we want to hear from both sides of the spectrum, if possible.
- Note there is no compensation for entries, but you will get a featured shout out + social promo.
