Issue #21: Revised theme & deadline extension!

Issue #21 – December 2011
Theme: MEMORY & THE PAST
Deadline: FEBRUARY 23

In light of the low number of submissions on the subject of memory, we’ve decided to make our next zine a “dual-themed” issue! This means a new submissions call for work related to memory, the past, or both. We’re excited about the creative possibilities of this combination, and we plan to explore duality more in future themes. Issue #21 is now scheduled for publication in March.

As always, see our Submission Guidelines for criteria.
