I'm looking for submissions for a one-off zine called I'm Not Like Other Girls.

What I want women and girls to do is to complete the sentence,
"I'm not like other girls because..."

I will make a zine of the responses.

The sentence will appear randomly placed, with all credits at the end, so your sentence and your credit aren't linked. This may help you to be more open, and the zine will flow much better too.

They may be categorised by theme, but that will depend on the submissions.

If you want to contribute, email me at incurable.hippie@googlemail.com

1) Put 'I'm not like other girls' in the subject line.
2) Email me your sentence (I'm not like other girls because...)
3) Tell me if you want to be anonymous.
4) If you want to be credited, tell me how (name / pseudonym, name of zine, etc)
5) If you want to receive a contributors' copy when it's ready, tell me your address too.

I can't guarantee your words will be put in the zine, but it's very likely. I only want submissions from women and girls.

Thanks!

Hey folks,

GENEROUS 'zine has been around since 2007 and even in this economy - we are still growing. Last year, we had the misfortune of losing our columnist, April Boland who wrote Memoirs of a Fat Girl. Since our zine/blog promotes size acceptance, we are in great need of someone to fill in this void. To check out archives, go to www.crazations.com or our blog http://generous.crazations.com. If you have questions or would like to send a sample, our direct email is contact@crazations.com. We do pay via PayPal (min $7 per 200 word submission). Have a good onr

Erin mentioned her zine dirty love, which deals a lot with body image/fat +. I have been fortunate enough to read this zine and think it is powerful and wonderful and GREAT! I cannot say enough good stuff about this zine and highly recommend it.

There's a piece in there about writing down what one needs to be loved. I mentioned this idea to my partner and he is totally down with it and we are going to make lists for each other. Thanks Erin. (and that reminds me, I have a list to write.)
