Call for Submissions—Long Distance Zine
I am seeking submissions of art and writing on the subject of long distance relationships, describing the funny, sad, and tender moments of having a partners or partners far away. This is not an “advice” zine, though pieces that incorporate advice will be considered. Submissions do not need to be about a current relationship or a currently long-distance relationship. I am particularly interested in questions of chosen or forced distance, queer(ed) relationships, Internet dating, membership in a globalized/ precariat labor force, ways of making contact across distance, the idea of “building a life,” struggles with immigration or across national borders, co-parenting across distance, and the different ways in which we create and sustain families and define “home.”
Please indicate the distance (for example, 500 miles) between you and your significant other(s) in the title or subtitle of your submission.
Due April 1st
500-1,000 words preferred, please submit as a word document or in the body of an email.
Images must be black and white, 300+ dpi
Send submissions/ inquiries to sassyfrasscircus@gmail.com

i thought it would be cool to have a place where people can easily access feminist zines so i just made this blog ~
if you make zines or you know of any good ones, please submit a description/photo of the zine with link where to purchase/download!
(i’d like to emphasise the option of making your zine trade-able; i think it would be really cool if we could get a lively zine trade going ~)

COMMUNITY SUBMISSION: ‘Think About the Bubbles,’ a new zine about mental health and self care
ZINE TITLE: Think About the Bubbles
AUTHOR: Joyce Hatton
RELEASE DATE: January, 2013
ORIGIN: Fargo, ND
DISTRIBUTION: ”Most of the copies will be distributed in Portland, Vancouver, Brooklyn, and a fewer number in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Lismore, Australia.”
JOYCE ON TUMBLR: http://airhornoftruthandlove.tumblr.com
ZINE DESCRIPTION FROM JOYCE:
‘Think About the Bubbles’ is about my struggle to keep my mental health stable. My goals are to validate the thought processes of people with mental health issues; and to give people without mental health issues a glimpse of what life is like with one.
People who have read my zine have had very strong reactions- many people have cried, but they always clarify that they aren’t sad tears. People laugh, people talk about the ways they can relate, and people talk about the larger issues of mental health. That is my ultimate goal.
What I like most about it- I love how honest and heartfelt it turned out. It’s my first zine, and I love how empowering and esteem-building it felt to make it. Thanks!
Joyce is also on Facebook.
BIO: ”I started this page when I had cancer and I knew something was changing. I told myself “I refuse to let cancer _change anything._” but I lost. Everything has changed, and I’m really happy about that. I’m on a kickassed journey.”

Things that make me feel happy: post-chemo ponytails, rigorous honesty, thinking about visiting my friend in Portland and legally going pants-less, kids laughing about butts and farts, hearing what makes other people happy…. so what makes you happy?

Editor’s Note: A “Community Submission” post results from POC folk submitting their own zine to be featured on the POC Zine Project Tumblr. If you would like to share your zine with the POC Zine Project community, here’s how to do it.
When you submit, feel free to add some background, a description of your work and art and your mission statement. If you just send us the name of your zine, we’ll simply link back to a source for purchasing it and use the language you already have on your site.
As long as the zine was created/co-created by a person of color, we will always share Community Submissions. Enjoy!
POCZP accepts anonymous submissions and zine donations from POC. Click here for submission guidelines.
