Formats have been finalized! SO sorry for the delay For art please make them 8.5×11 inches, and for right now don't worry about the coloration. We don't need CYMK.  For writing, please limit your work to 4 8.5×11 pages, single spaced.

We've set some fresh dates, so put them in your calendars:

Check In #3 - June 16, 2019 Final Submissions Due - June 30, 2019 Preorders Open - July 1, 2019 Preorders Close - July 31, 2019

We know what you're thinking-- that's an awful big stretch of time! And you'd be right. We're doing this based on the availability of the mods-- both of us will have more time to organize during the summer. We don't want to cut short the time you all would be able to use if we don't have to, and since we can't work on this consistently until then, we want to offer this time in case you're all still working. Be aware that you shouldn't feel pressured to work if you feel your piece is done and we have no critique for it, we just want to give the time if it's desired.

Hello all juice and beetle enthusiasts! Please take a moment to check the updated schedule on our page! We have made significant changes to it in order to streamline the process of making this zine. 

Now that Mod Jay and Mod Suzannah are both in the same zipcode again, planning and organizing this will be much easier. We apologize for any difficulty in contacting us or confusion regarding deadlines, but we promise we will be better!

Bugs and Kisses,

Hey everyone! Sorry for being in such poor contact in the past few weeks, I promise this zine is still very much a project that will be happening! The mod team has been out of touch over winter break, but now we both have regular schedules again so we’ll be able to dedicate more time to this project, and more consistently.
