How to submit
Processs
Email
Cover letter
you don’t need a cover letter. just say hi and tell me your pronouns. if you want to have a bio, let me know and type it up for me. also if you can, i’d like your instagram so i can follow and tag you.
Eligibility
No specific eligibility requirements
Formatting
if writing, take a google doc. got it? now turn it landscape and split it into two columns. your work should be in 11 pt font courier new. that’s how the zine is printed — each column = roughly one page, so it just helps me gauge the length of your work.
Author's rights
i would be insane to tell you to never publish one of these pieces again when i have like, 500 instagram followers, what the hell. send me whatever, even previously published pieces, as long as you are actually allowed to send me those previously published pieces and i won’t get sued or whatever for publishing them. also, i might put your piece on instagram. i’ll tag.
Additional info
make sure to look at the instagram @riotghoulrva to gauge an understanding of aesthetic and vibes and etc you will see the instagram is a little dead, that’s due to the aforementioned hiatus. don’t worry about it. i’m working on it.
