Call for Submissions: wish i could stop – an OCD zine
Tentatively called “wish i could stop,” this zine is for and by folks who have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), including people who are self-diagnosed. People who are also marginalized due to race, disability, class, gender, sexuality and age are encouraged to submit to [email protected] by Aug. 12, 2017. The zine may be for and by people with OCD, but that does not mean submissions have to be about the disorder.
Call for Submissions: Spirit Zine
Spirit Zine is dedicated to the spirituality of people of colour and their experiences with all things seen and unseen. Spirit is accepting visual, written and sound submissions. To submit, fill out this form or reach out to [email protected] for more info. Deadline is Sept. 30, 2017.
Call for Submissions: Meet Cute Mag
Meet Cute Mag is a magazine “in love with everything romance” — but their romance-centricity doesn’t mean they only publish pieces about amorous encounters. The mag is looking for stories, ranging from 300 words to 5,000 words, focusing on dynamic relationships. Send submissions to [email protected] by July 28, 2017.
Call for Submissions: The Matador Review

Submit your political zines, perzines, art/comic zines, DIY/how-to zines and literary zines by July 30, 2017.
