How to submit
Processs
Email
Cover letter
You’re welcome to include a short bio or a bit about yourself – we’d love to get to know you.
Eligibility
LGBTQ+ creators
If you fall under the gender diverse and/or non-binary umbrella (e.g. genderqueer, gender fluid, agender, bigender, demigender, non-binary trans women and nonbinary trans men, gender questioning, just to name a few …) — we want your work! If you’re worried that you’re not ‘non-binary enough’ to submit to #EnbyLife, let us reassure you: YOU ARE NON-BINARY ENOUGH. If you are cisgender (i.e. identify with the gender you were assigned at birth), we recommend you seek out other submission opportunities.Formatting
For written submissions Word doc or Google doc would be great, or you can send your work in the email body. For artwork, JPG, PNG or PDF, or similar. If in doubt, send it our way, and if we can't open it, we'll let you know :)
Author's rights
By agreeing to publish your work with #EnbyLife Journal, you grant us the right to publish the work/s in online/digital form; as well as permission to use the work/s for promotional purposes on social media, including the #EnbyLife Twitter and Instagram accounts. This also means you agree to not publish your accepted piece/s anywhere else (including on blogs or social media) until your work is publicly available on #EnbyLife Journal. After publication on our website, full rights revert to you, the author, and you may publish the work/s elsewhere, with an acknowledgement that the work/s first appeared in #EnbyLife Journal. While we generally prefer new work, we’re very happy to consider previously published work. For example, if a previously published piece had a small local or zine readership, or was published under an old/dead name (we’d love to help you see your previous work published under your new/correct name!) If in doubt, send us an email with an enquiry.
Additional info
Yes! #EnbyLife pays $30 (AUD) honorarium to each artist published. This small amount is not a reflection of your work. We wish we could pay you more but we don't have the budget. We continue to seek funding and grant opportunities every year. #EnbyLife is currently funded through the generosity of ko-fi donations and was previously funded by the Gender Reveal Podcast Grant.
