What broad category of work are you wanting to submit
- No AI generated images or text in any part of your work.
- Do not use AI to 'brainstorm' or get feedback.
- No AI refined text, other than very basic spelling or grammar.
- No AI translations from other languages.
- AI transcription tools are ok, as long as it is original and the AI isn't rephrasing anything.

Any photography must be your own.
You must not use stock photos or 'mockups' to display your artwork.
For people/groups you must have consent from every identifiable person in the shot for their photo to be used. They must be adults. Credit will be given to the photographer rather than the individuals in the photo. General photos may be edited or have filters over them by me to fit the style of the zine. You can opt out of this.
You will not receive any upfront payment or royalties for having work featured in this zine. The budget for making this zine is currently £0. The editor/creator is working for free.
There is no cost to submit your work.
Everyone who is featured will receive a free digital copy and a discount on a physical version IF it gets printed.
Your work will be credited, and you will retain all intellectual property rights to your own work.

The zine may feature a section about all the people who had work featured. Please feel free to write a couple of sentences about
you/your work. Write in third person.
I want to ensure I feature a wide range of people. This section will not be published or linked to your work, but it helps me as the editor to make sure a diverse range of people are included. They are all optional. I do not have strict definitions of any of them, so just select any that you personally identify with.
Do you identify as/with any of the following.
These will not be published. I use this data to ensure I have a diverse range of submissions and voices. I will not accept/reject people solely based on this but I may in future push to get more submissions from a certain demographic. This zine should reflect EVERYONE.
That's everything! Just press submit!
