ZINES
Bramble is publishing small press zines, and we’re currently working on one called SPECTRUM STORIES.If you’re someone who is neurodivergent, please feel free to send submissions to:[email protected]This zine is entirely self-funded and as such we can pay a $30 honorarium to those who are featured in the zine, as well as a free copy of the zine itself (including shipping) and a SPECTRUM STORIES pin badge.(We would love to be able to pay more for zine contributors, but due to not currently having funding this is what we can afford to pay. We do not make any profit from what we publish, and we are not being paid to work on it. This zine is being made simply because we love publishing disabled creatives and want to ensure their talents are celebrated!)Please email us any questions, and we’ll do our best to reply within a week or so. You can also read more about our submissions guidelines here.Submissions will close at the end of July.We also would love to promote other disabled and neurodivergent people’s zines on our website and instagram, so please let us know if you make zines!
