Zine Submissions Now Open
Calling local trans artists and makers!
Do you have an idea for a zine on the topic of “transition”? We want to hear it!
We are seeking zines that speak to the diversity of trans experiences and believe that through the art of sharing our stories we create opportunities for others to feel seen.
We are seeking experiences from a range of cultures, racial identities, disability, ages, and class positions.
We will also accept zines that have already been created, so long as you, the creator, hold the rights to share (if you are unsure of the ownership of your published work, you can find out in your publishing agreement).
Submissions are open from October 22nd - November 23rd, 2025
