How to Submit Your Work

SUBMISSIONS FOR ISSUE #1 ARE NOW CLOSED

The front cover of Issue 1 is a collage of images. The background is red and made up of album covers and various images of records and graffiti that is barely visible underneath everything else. There are two people outlined in black like shadows, one of which has a red, star-shaped guitar surounded by multicoloured lines and large letters in white crayon are written across the figure spelling out The Boys Are Alright and from their head purple, pink and blue lines are bursting out. Behind them, stars, moons and various planets have been drawn in white to look like space. The second figure is standing upright, and has a real image of a skateboard embedded in their torso, with white lines drawn around it to look like smashed glass. Instead of the person's head is a multicoloured star. Above them is the multi-gender symbol made to look like the anarchy symbol, and is coloured in pink, white and blue to mimic the trans flag. In the middle of the image, on the right, is a real image of a cigarette with smoke drawn coming out of it and swirling across the entire page. There is a red circle and cross going through the cigarette. On the bottom left of the image is another figure, this time outlined in white and not coloured in like the other two. Behind them is an album cover that depicts a cartoon tiger head eating a cartoon person, and two top surgery scars have been drawn across their chest in white. Beside them is the title of the Zine Tboy Mag which is written in a font that looks like cut out newspaper letters. Beside the writing is a round yello circle with two crosses and a smiley mouth drawn in black to look like a face. Walking across the title, which is angled across the page, is a shadow figure of a bear.

You can follow the zine's Instagram or Tumblr for updates on when submissions for Issue #2 will open.

What Am I Allowed to Submit?

Anything you want! There's very little limits on what you're able to submit, as long as it means something to you or you think it would be a good fit for our zine. For example, if submitting a non-fiction piece, such as a historical profile or a helpful transition guide, then we'd prefer it to be transmasc focused. However, this can be used as an umbrella term for a lot of different identities, or else it may overlap with other identities that you may have, so the sky is still the limit!

For art and fictional pieces, we welcome submissions from anyone within the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and you can get as creative as you want. Original work, fanarts, collages, go wild! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Please note that while NSFW pieces will be considered, this zine is directed towards ages 14 and up, so please keep that in mind before you submit. Things like nude bodies, medical guides or sex education is fine, but if you have a piece that you're not comfortable with being seen by minors, then do not submit it.

You can submit your pieces here for consideration.
