SUBMISSIONS for our theme call below open from February 6 to March 30 2026
Founder Editor: Iva Bozic (aka @ivonabozik). Editors: Mia Soto (aka @m.s.blues_) & Amanda Weir-Gertzog.
This is your community, too. So, we invite you to send us your submissions, in form of think pieces, social and cultural commentaries, portraits, prose, poetry, essays, travelogues and almost anything else. If you don’t express yourself with words, no worries, send us your collages, drawings, photos, videos, songs …
Read our manifesto & make sure you align to our values, and then send your contribution to wonder via e-mail to the.amazine (a) proton.me. To get inspired and see what we are most interested in, check out our prompts. We invite you to carefully read our guidelines before submitting, as not following them, or not respecting our values, can result in an automatic rejection.
We tend to answer in max. 1 month. The accepted pieces are gradually published on our online zine. Please note: our webzine is primarily dedicated to those above 16 years old.
THEME
To be revealed soon.
GUIDELINES
Write [Submission] in the e-mail subject and add the genre of your work. Include your name/pseudonym, pronouns, short 3rd person bio (one paragraph), photo (optional) as well as social media handles and/or website (if applicable) in the cover letter.
- For writing: please send a max. of 1 piece – max. 5 pages in a Word document and use a readable font (size 11/12, spacing 1-1.5).
- For visual and other art: please send us a max. of 1 drawing, photo, song, short videos, etc., in jpg, png, mp3, mp4, wmv or other web friendly format.
Important changes
- You can only submit 1 piece a month! We kindly ask you to respect the limit.
- We do not accept previously published pieces for this theme call.
- We accept simultaneous submissions, as long as you notify us immediately if your piece is accepted elsewhere.
Submitting to us is completely free and always will be. We reserve ourselves the right to decide not to publish your contribution if we think it doesn’t fit the vibe or values of our zine. It might take us some time to answer, too, we thank you in advance for your patience.
Everything we publish belongs to the authors/artists. We retain no rights to your work, we only expect you to submit original and AI-free work. By submitting, you agree for us to publish it on our website and share it on all our channels. We appreciate it immensely if you mention us as the first publisher of your work when that is the case.
We run on voluntary basis and have no funding as for now, so we cannot and do not pay for anything that we publish, although we very much appreciate people creating and would love to support them for it. Who knows, maybe someday that might change (fingers crossed) and we will be able to put our money where our mouth is. Till then, make sure you are okay with sharing your pieces with us for free. (We understand if you are not.)
Looking forward to hearing from you!
P.S.: A part of our team and many of our contributors are not native speakers, but use English as our lingua franca and main language of this zine. If you feel like helping us proofread, we’d be grateful. If, on the other hand, you want to submit / contribute something in another language, you’re most welcome, we’d appreciate if it comes with a translation, though.
If you have a question, idea, suggestion, etc., for us, go to our contact page or write to us at the.amazine (a) proton.me and put [Question / Idea / Suggestion / …] in the e-mail subject. If you think/feel we made a mistake somewhere, we definitely want to know, too. We appreciate the kind of criticism that helps us grow and improve.
