Welcome! Please read the submission guidelines below carefully before proceeding to your submission.
Poppleton Ink is a feminist arts and culture magazine exploring the stories, cultural moments and media that shape us as individuals. Our debut issue 'Girlhood Nostalgia' explores the history and heart of girlhood - the versions of ourselves we left behind or carried with us; the films, literature and music that made us; and the friendships that hold a deep-rooted place in our mind. We're looking for work that is emotionally rich, critical, playful and everything in-between.
We accept work across the following categories:
High-resolution images (minimum 300 DPI) relating to objects, moments and feelings connected with 'girlhood'.
Essays and Opinion Pieces
