Because things were busy back in December we didn’t get many submissions to QZAP:meta #5. Since we think this is going to be an awesome issue we thought we’d send the call for submissions out again. Here goes:
Issue #5 is going to be “The Music Issue”, and we’re narrowing our focus a little for this one.
We’re looking for articles and narratives about how queer zines and queer music connect. More specifically across genres like queercore/queerpunk, riot grrrl, and homo-hop, though please don’t let that be the limit.
Some questions to think about:
- Did queer zines turn you on to certain bands or musicians?
- Did queer zines help to promote you or your band?
- In the age of the internet, MySpace, iTunes, etc. what and how do musicians and zines interact?
- What about fanzines? Do they still exist? Any stories about fanzines specifically?
Ideally we’re looking for between 1000 and 3000 words (roughly 2-5 pages), or grayscale images at 300dpi or higher.
Deadline for this issue is May 15th, 2011. We’re hoping to get it printed in early June. All contributors will get a free copy of the zine.
All submissions can be sent to qzap {at} qzap.org
Please feel free to share this with folks who might be interested.
