FAT ASS Zine Issue #2 - Call for Submissions!
Call for Submissions! FAT ASS is an intersectional queer/feminist zine that centers the experiences of queer and trans fat folks and celebrates the artistry, activism, and work of queer/tras fat activists. For issue #2 of FAT ASS, we’re looking for submissions celebrating Queer/Trans Fat Sexuality and Sensuality. We are seeking submissions that address the following themes (and more!): § Fat queer/trans self-love and stories about pleasure and sensual indulgence. § Celebrations of fat and queer/trans sexuality in drawings, illustrations, photography, collage, and other forms of art. § Intersectional analyses of media representations of fat sexuality with particular attention to race, class, nationality, and disability status. § Decolonizing fat, trans/queer/two spirit sexualities. § Erotic/sensual poetry, prose, short fiction that affirms and celebrates fat queer sexuality. § Activist projects that affirm and validate fat queer/trans sexuality for our activist spotlight section. § Healing from sexual trauma from the perspective of fat, queer/trans people. § Have an idea not listed here? Submit anyway! It is a myth that you must be a “good writer” or “good artist” to submit to a zine. We welcome many kinds of writing and artwork: essays, poetry, short stories, photography, doodles, rants, drawings, cartoons/comics, collage…and more! Send your submissions to [email protected] before March 31st, 2019. For written submissions, please use Microsoft Word and submit your writing in .doc or .docx format. (Please try to limit submissions to 1500 words. We are flexible. Let us know if you need a little extra space.) For artwork, please attach high resolution .jpg images to your email. All photography must be accompanied by the subject's consent. Please include a title for your artwork and feel free to share any information you think would be pertinent for readers to know about your piece (i.e.: medium, location, tools used). Contributors have the option of sharing a short bio or publishing their work anonymously. All artists and authors will receive a free copy of the zine. We vigorously affirm and prioritize the writing of Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous People of Color (QTBIPOC).
