Frequently Asked Questions

What can I submit?

We will consider fiction (including both 100-word and flash fiction), poetry, and creative nonfiction (including both 100-word and flash nonfiction). You may submit more than one kind of writing. Please submit written submissions as a Google Doc. 

We also will consider artwork—photographs, drawings, even paintings if they can be digitized. Please submit photography and visual art submissions as JPG files.

How many submissions can I submit?

You can send us as many submissions as you’d like. Multiple submissions of different categories are also allowed. For example, you can send us a few poems, some photographs, and a few pieces of 100 words. Keep in mind that not all submissions are guaranteed to be published. We’ll pick the pieces that best contribute to our themes.

What Art, Photography, and Writing are you looking for?

We consider themes for your work to be aligned with these three key subjects: body, food, and mind. We do not have a specific style of how this is betrayed in your work, our goal is to give you the freedom to express your inside voices in any capacity you wish. 

How do I submit?

Email all submissions to zineinsidevoice@gmail.com or go to chillsubs.com. When sending us your submission(s) please write in the subject line your name, the type of work you are submitting, and what Issue you are submitting to. Please include a brief note if possible, describing the piece, how/why you came to create it, your creative process, or anything you might wish to include if we publish your work. Please add any social handles you would like featured when we promote your work and our Zine. 

What happens after I submit? 

You will be notified when we have received your submission. Once our editors do a thorough review, we will notify you if your submission(s) are accepted. We reserve the right to make suggestions and work with writers and artists to make their piece(s) the best it can be. 

I have a piece I’m considering sending to you guys, but it’s not finished. Can I still submit it?

Yes, we will consider works-in-progress. Please submit works-in-progress with ample time before our deadline and publication dates. If submitting works-in-progress, you will be expected to work with and follow up with an editor.

What is not allowed in the zine?

We’re not interested in censoring writers and artists of creative expression but we reserve the right to decline material that the editors deem inappropriate.
