The F Word Zine is Currently Accepting Submissions For Our Second Issue

We will accept everything! (Well, not quite everything… see below.)

Last year our theme was “Redefining Feminism” which is pretty vague. This year’s theme is…. NO THEME. Because I cannot think of a good one. Our spring conference will be about “bridging the gap” so take that as you will. But for the zine itself, you decide what to send and I’ll figure out a theme (maybe) later.

Visual Art (make sure it looks good in black & white)
photography, paintings, illustrations, sculptures, collages, or “talking back” to sexist, racist, ableist, transphobic, homophobic, or generally crappy advertising or media through visual forms.

Fiction or Creative Non-Fiction
Up to 2,000 words. Shorter pieces are encouraged (and frankly have a better chance of being printed) since printing is expensive.

Poetry
No more than 3 pages, double spaced. We’re always looking for more poetry, so please send it our way!

Book Reviews
Found a super cool book you think we should all read? Maybe it’s a not so great book no one should waste their time reading. Send us your reviews.

Interviews
Query if you have an interview you think we might like.

Surprise us!
If we can scan it and photocopy it, it has a chance of getting into the zine!

What Won’t Get In
MRA rants. And other generally clueless stuff.

Previously published work is fine. Just let us know where it was published so we can let readers know where else to find you.

Send all submissions to fword@loop.colum.edu with the header: Zine Submission (Type of Art). Include your name as you wish it to appear in the zine and if you wish to be contacted by phone, your phone number (if not, your e-mail works). Work should be attached. PDF, JPEG, DOC, DOCX (is there a difference between those last two?) or any other file type people generally already have on their computers.

Hope to hear from you soon!
