[BiNet USA] Call for Submissions: Queer webzine with a focus towards bisexuals and pansexual

Hi, I'm a 22 year old queer male who goes by radiantDirtt on the internet and I'm trying to start a webzine called Pantos Mag (pantosmag.tumblr.com <-- check us out!). I'm looking for submissions and thought you all might be interested in the magazine, in general. Pantos Mag is a multiple media publication that will juxtapose thoughtful op-ed articles with other writings and graphic art Who can submit? Published pieces will be created by and/or relate to the LGBTQ community, especially bisexual and pansexual identifying individuals. Pantos Mag will provide a space for the discussion of LGBTQ interests and issues as well as a space for artists and writers to showcase their work. Bisexual and pansexual people are specifically encouraged to submit, but any member of the LGBTQ community or ally is welcome to submit as well. So, what is Pantos Mag looking for? We are looking for essays and op-ed pieces, poems, short stories, photographs, drawings/illustrations, and any other 2-D art. Are there guidelines? Yes! Pantos Mag will be digital but structured somewhat like a print magazine. Op-ed pieces and essays should be around 500 to 1000 words. Short stories should try to stay below 2500 words, but can be longer if they are especially compelling. 2-D artwork should fit on a single 8 ½ by 11 inch page, although exceptions can certainly be discussed. What isn't Pantos Mag looking for? We will not publish anything racist, classist, sexist, cissexist, homophobic, biphobic, body negative, appropriating, or otherwise alienating and oppressive. However, the discussion of any of these issues is absolutely encouraged and Pantos Mag is very interested in publishing pieces addressing intersectionality from a diversity of viewpoints. How do I submit? Send all your submissions to pantosmag@gmail.com! We'll review them and contact you regarding edits and information we need to publish, like what name you want to use. If you're interested in writing essays or op-ed pieces we suggest you email us with a brief pitch so we can talk it out before you write it. Will I still own my work? Pantos Mag is here for you, not for profit. You will retain all the rights to any work you submit and anyone who contacts us looking to use something you've created will be directed to you. You should be aware, that some publications may decline to publish something that has already been published even though you still have the rights to it. The images and design of the magazine that we create will be licensed under the creative commons noncommercial-sharealike license and we encourage our submitters to to embrace sharing their creativity and use creative commons licenses as well.
