CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS, FIST FIGHT ZINE

fist fight is a zine about girls and every day fights, from physical confrontations at shows, to the fight for autonomy with medical professionals, or the fight against advertising to be body posi. it's about girl gangs, and strong/weird female friendships.

It's about feeling positive and strong. It's about being inspired by other women on days when we've been feeling overwhelmed or defeated.

we want your contributions! we're interested in your personal writing/essays/comics/art.

when you're submitting, think about: whether it fits the theme and feel of fist fight (if you think it does, you're probably right), whether you want to lay it out on the page or if you're happy for us to do that, and a title.

you should also send a short (like 50 words or less) blurby bio-y type thing. totally mention your own projects so people can find you.

if you want more info, or want to check if what you you're making fits the theme you can contact me here, or email rina.anxiety@gmail.com.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS 10TH MAY, 2010!

Hey,
I work on Hoax with Sari M (who wrote below). I would also really love trading zines with some people here. If you are worried about trading with sari and I seperately (because you'd be getting two of hoax) i'd be willing to send a few $$$ yr way...or maybe we can just become penpals? anyway, email hoaxzine@gmail.com!

Hey, going to be putting together a radical queer zine - about being a queer punk, being against assimilation, and gay shame. If you want to know more/write something/draw something - feel free to email at kale.and.glitter (at) gmail (dot) com. Thanks! :)

Comment by Saling Pusa Distro/closed on January 10, 2010 at 4:33pm

Hello hello! I am currently working on a zine: Saling-pusa and aside from being a perzine, it focuses mostly on self-discovery and self-definition. And for this first issue, i am looking for articles/pieces that talks about how you just knew you're gay. It can be as obvious as starting to be attracted to someone of the same sex or something like playing house with another girl, being forced to play the guy role and realizing you liked it... it can be anything really. i just really want to see/hear about how people finally confirmed and admitted to themselves they're gay/queer or whatever you preffer to call it. I am really interested to read those turning point stories. :) you can email me at i_reply@live.com for more info or to submit your submission. thanks!

Hi, I'm part of a writers group in Melbourne, Australia and we've just published a zine of short stories called southpaw grammar. It features work by Benjamin Solah, Sam Stoker, Ben Pearmain, Alex Ettling and Frankie Cole, who've tackled topics from failed dates to fishing, vegan extremes to the undead.
If anyone would like to trade with us that would be rad... sends your to
The Southpaw Grammar Writers Group
8/125 Separation St, Northcote, Victoria, 3070, Australia

and we will send you one back. Promise.
