Women in REDzine is the first multicultural literature and art magazine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While we are proud of this legacy, we wish to emphasize that our focus has always been, and will remain, the continued celebration and uplifting of ALL women and our multicultural heritage. Women in REDzine works to increase the visibility and interaction of artists, writers, musicians and dancers within diverse cultural communities.
The reading period for both the October, 2011 and the December, 2011 issues of Women in REDzine, is now open!!
Submit to Women in REDzine
This is an open call for ALL artists, writers, dancers, musicians, poets, photographers, journalists, breakers, rhymesayers, activists, video artists, capoeiristas, fire spinners, storytellers, world travelers, spoken word artists, and revolutionary thinkers. If you can make it creative, we want to see it, read it, hear it, or experience it...So SEND it.
Women in REDzine embraces all art forms. If you're unsure where to send your submission, write to us and enquire about how you should submit. We love getting mail! Women in REDzine does accept simultaneous submissions, however, in the event that the work is accepted for publication elsewhere, please do us the courtesy of informing us promptly. Only previously unpublished, wholly ORIGINAL works will be considered for publication.
Our reading period is currently open. Cover letters should include a word count and indicate whether the submission is fiction, nonfiction, or poetry.
Note: While other journals and magazines encourage writers to read their back issues to get a sense of what it is that they are looking for, and what they like to publish, we at Women in REDzine encourage you to read our back issues to get a feel of some of what we don't want; the previous aesthetic, while wonderful, is completely different from the one that we are now exploring and does not reflect the direction that we wish to go in...besides, it's never good to repeat yourself. We strive to be continually evolving and improving the magazine!
