The Queer Canon: Call for Submissions

Several previous RAPP members are involved in GenderBloc, the UC student group that publishes The Queer Canon. This is a great student-created zine and we keep copies in the RAPP office for folks to read.

We try hard to preserve the original layout and fonts of each work submitted; butsometimes small edits are made when we are creating the final layout for the zine. If there is special instruction for you piece, please include it in the submission email.
Authoring
Pieces can be submitted under a name, assumed name/pen name, or anonymously. Non-original work (work created by someone other than the person submitting it) may be submitted only if it is accompanied by the proper citations. Non-original, un-cited works will not be printed.
