SuperGrrrl Adventure Comix Deadline Extended
After much discussion--and in response to the fact that we have received numerous queries but a grand total of two actual submissions--Jen and I have decided to extend the SuperGrrrl Adventure Comix #1 submissions deadline by two weeks, to July 14.
SuperGrrrl Adventure Comix is a multimedia second-gen riot grrrl-themed zine. We are looking forsubmissions of previously unpublished original fiction, nonfiction, poetry, black-and-white art, comic strips, interviews, articles, and reviews; from writers and artists of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.
We cannot pay contributors at this time, but we will happily give you contributor copies, random comic books, and our undying gratitude.
Please see below for guidelines (behind the cut), and feel free to forward this around or post it anywhere you'd consider appropriate.
Sincerely,
Rachel Edidin and Jen Vaughn, Editrices

Email submissions to supergrrrlcomix(at)gmail(dot)com (see below for guidelines).
