Make/Shift

Hey Ladies - We had a great meeting today! Here is the info about the call for submissions. I would love to help you compile work to submit!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: make/shift no. 12

Make/shift—a magazine creating, documenting, and engaging with contemporary feminist culture and activism—is seeking submissions for its twelfth issue (fall/winter 2012).

  

For Issue 12 (fall/winter 2012), we are seeking

--investigative journalism

--photojournalism

--profiles of feminist activists, artists, projects, and thinkers

--critical essays

--personal essays

--fiction and poetry

--art and photography

--book, maga/zine, film, art, and event reviews

--hybrid pieces

We are also seeking content for the following regular make/shift features:

--Everyday Actions: scenes of feminist action in everyday life (100 to 400 words)

--Make/Plans: listings for our international calendar of upcoming events (submit info for events occurring between September 2012 and March 2013)

--Participate: listings for our community bulletin board (calls for submissions, invitations to participate in community projects, and the like; deadlines should be ongoing or between September 2012 and March 2013)

Make/shift pays $.02/word plus two copies for prose, or a flat fee plus two copies for visual art and poetry.

Send pitches or full-draft submissions to info@makeshiftmag.com. Please submit no more than three poems or two pieces of prose at a time, and note that we do not publish reprints. Feel free to pitch multiple ideas at once. Please know that we are an all-volunteer collective, and it sometimes takes us quite a while to respond to all submissions--but we will respond once we've had a chance to thoughtfully discuss your work. We accept pitches and submissions on a rolling basis, but priority for Issue 12 will be given to those received by March 10, 2012.
