Call for Submissions/ Deadline March 1

[Megan Allore]

I'm looking for submissions for a new compilation zine called Three Degrees: A Zine about Autism.
I'm looking to compile essays, poems, photographs, and art about your
personal experiences with or perspectives on autism. The name of the
zine is derived from the theory that everyone knows a person with
autism by... you guessed it... three degrees. I chose this title to
reflect that autism can affect pretty much everyone.

I want to include submissions from a wide variety of people. Maybe you're a
parent or sibling, a teacher or caregiver. Maybe you have a family
member or friend who has autism. Maybe you've only encountered a person
with autism once. Maybe you yourself are on the spectrum. Do you
celebrate neurodiversity? Do you hope for a cure? As a sibling myself,
I'm particularly interested in other sibs' experiences, but like I
said, I'm looking for a variety, including all the feelings that
experience includes: joy, frustration, love, embarassment, reward, etc.


Submissions can be as short or long as you like, but keep in mind I'm on a budget, so try not to submit something that will take up
more than three half-sized pages.

No derogatory or hateful submissions will be accepted.

Deadline for submitting is March 1.
Please send submissions to: meganallore @ gmail . com

All participants will receive a free copy of the zine.

Can't wait to hear from you!

NEW DEADLINE: MARCH 22

[Hannah (Not Lonely Zine)]

Firstly - great idea for a zine!

I worked with people with autism for 2 years, and really enjoyed it. I'd like to submit something, but I'm really busy with university work for the next 3 weeks. I'll try and get something to you by then.

[Megan Allore]

Hi Hannah! I was wondering if you still planned on submitting anything to Three Degrees? I'm going to try to compile it this weekend or next week, so there's still a little time if you want to send something. :)

Hiya Megan
I've got to write 8000 words worth of university assignments by next Thursday, so sadly I don't think I'll have time to write anything before then :(. Please can you let me know if you're still looking for stuff after that? Once my work is done I'll have ample free time but until then all I'm doing is studying (which is pretty boring and depressing, tbh).

I totally understand. I have two papers due next week, eek! I plan on making Three Degrees an ongoing project, so if you want to submit something when you have more time, I would love to include it in the next issue.

I'd like to send you some stuff. Do you have a postal address that I could mail stuff to? I don't have a scanner.

[Megan Allore]

Hi Aaron! Email me at meganallore @ gmail.com, and I'll give you my postal address. :)

That's great, thanks for being so understanding & hopefully I'll be able to contribute something later :)
