Would you like to contribute to Pretty Ugly #6?

It’s a zine written by people who have feminist ideas, but the content is not explicitly feminist. The contributors are mostly, but not exclusively women who consider themselves feminist and/or queer-positive. Environmentalists, punks and activists are also urged to take up their pens, cameras and brushes. You’re welcome to contribute your writing, artwork and photography, or design the cover of this unthemed edition.

We have previously published feature articles, reviews, interviews, recipes, columns and short fiction. We will accept anything for consideration, including personal writing. But in the case of poetry, it will only be published it if it’s funny/entertaining/political and I, the guest editor, personally like it (a long-debated Pretty-Ugly collective policy).

There are also no set word limits, but bear in mind that it’s usually an A4-sized publication of up to about 48 pages, so anything over 2500 words would probably be printed in digest form and placed on the website in its entirety. And please don’t send really long pieces without first sending a short synopsis of up to 300 words maximum!

Contact me - Emily - lebetz[at]gmail[dot]com with your contributions/contribution ideas.

Submission deadline: Monday October 29th

Launch will probably be at the Melbourne zine fair in January 2008

Thanks heaps,
