The Moon Zine

Hello, friends! Issue #36, our unthemed, final issue is out for your reading pleasure! Head over to Issuu to read it and Drive to print your own.

If you’ve been following along beyond our tumblr, you’ll know this post is way overdue. (If you haven’t been, sorry to keep you waiting!) This issue came out in early December and, like many of our recent posts here, we haven’t had time to let you all know. That’s one reason we’re wrapping things up at The Moon Zine.

Thanks again for hanging!

Hi! We decided we’re accepting audio submissions for our final issue, much like we did for our Music issue back in June 2017. We would love to hear your music, sounds, noises, and words.

The rules are the same as they were for our Music issue:

We’re accepting audio works of any kind: music, sounds, noises, words, jokes, whatever.

We prefer lossless files (.aiff, .wav or .flac) for Bandcamp. If you only have an MP3, we’ll convert it, but we really prefer lossless files. Here’s some more info at Bandcamp.

Copyright is, of course, still yours. You own your work, we’re sharing it with your permission.

This Bandcamp album will be a pay-what-you-want thing. People can pay nothing or something. If they choose to pay something, we’ll put it all toward the zine costs. Or, since we’re wrapping up The Moon Zine, we will donate it to a St. Louis nonprofit.

The deadline is November 10, 2018. For general submission guidelines, head over here.

It’s almost Halloween and Issue #35: SPOOKY III is out! (It has been since October 1st and I’ve been trying to post this to Tumblr for a long time but we’re busy and we’re sorry! Thanks for being patent!) Read it on Issuu. Download and print your own from Drive.

A quick reminder that out last issue comes out in December. If you want to submit some work, we’d love to see it! There’s no theme. Submissions are due November 10.

After three full years, The Moon Zine has decided to release our final issue.

Instead of the Pop Culture issue, we will be collecting unthemed submissions for our Goodbye issue. The submission deadline for those is November 10th.

Stay tuned for a farewell collage party and get together in December! 

Thank you to everyone who has submitted, collaged, danced at our shows, or just picked up our zine. If you've collected any issues, hold on to them, or pass them on to any budding zinester you know, as the Moon Zine is one of a kind.

The Moon Zine’s next theme is POP CULTURE. Pop music, movies, commercial, trends, art, internet videos, memes, video games, slang—”a set of the practices, beliefs, and objects that are dominant or ubiquitous in a society at a given point in time,” according to Wikipedia. Got art about this stuff or something similar? Send it in. We’d love to see it and share it.

Submissions are due October 1, 2018. For more info on submissions, click here. 

We look forward to seeing what y’all got :)

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: SPOOKY III

The Moon Zine is gearing up early for our favorite time of year: Halloween! We’re bringing back spooky as a theme for a third year in a row, so if you have art about things scary or eerie, art about horror movies, ghost stories, or curses, art about that bump-in-the-night stuff, we would love to see it and share it. (Extra credit if your spooky art is also somehow about the number 3 or sequels or trilogies or even roman numerals.)

The deadline is Wednesday, August 1, 2018. Check out our submission guidelines for more info on that how to submit work.

Issue #33 SLEEP is out, up, and around for your casual reading as you drift off to dreamland. Read it on issuu or print your own from Drive.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: PARTY

The Moon Zine is looking for artwork centered around party as a theme or topic or detail for our upcoming PARTY issue. Whatever party means to you, if you’ve got art to share, we’d like to take part in that sharing.

The submission deadline is Friday June 1, 2018 by midnight. Check out out submission guidelines for more info.

Thanks and we hope to hear from you!

We made a special minizine for The People’s Joy Parade, a very special day here in St. Louis that celebrates weirdness and creativity and, inadvertently, nice weather. As usual, you can read it on issuu or print your own from Drive.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: SLEEP

We wish we got more or less, we need it to survive, we cherish it, and we do it when we’re bored. The Moon Zine is looking at sleep in our upcoming issue and would love to see your take on it. Send us your art on sleep!

The deadline is April 1st, 2018 May 1, 2018. Check out our submission guidelines for more info.

Something to go on if you need a push to start: "Human beings are the only species that deliberately deprive themselves of sleep for no apparent gain." (via NPR)

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: TRAVEL

The Moon Zine is collecting submissions for our Travel issue (and we’ve done a really bad job promoting it) and would love for you to submit some art!

The Moon Zine, in case you’re unfamiliar, is a free, monthly, compilation zine. We publish physical, digital, and print-your-own editions of each issue. We would love for you to share something you made with us.

For more about our submission process, head here. The deadline for this issue is Thursday, February 1, at midnight. Thanks!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: FASHION

The Moon Zine is tackling FASHION for our next issue! Send us your art about: pants, hats, sandals, clothing as a general topic, style, the history of an article of clothing, photos of shirts you got food on, where to buy clothes, how to make your own clothing, and I don’t know what else, but please send it over. We’d love to take a look and share it with our readers.

The submission deadline is Thursday, February 1, 2018 by midnight. Read more about how to submit here.

Thank you!
