submission guidelines

The themes chosen for Wanweird's issues act as a general guidance to inspire contributors. However, a submission does not need to fit into the conventional definition of the theme, or fit into the theme at all. The theme exists to create a through line in the issue, but we are open to looking at submissions dealing with all subject matter.

The editing team is prepared to handle sensitive themes and materials. These include, but are not limited to: sexual content, body horror, death, self harm, suicide, themes of prejudice or discrimination, sexual assault, gore. The author may opt in or opt out of using content warnings.

Due to potential sexual and sensitive themes, Wanweird is an 18+ zine and we kindly ask all contributors to confirm they are 18 or over upon submission.

Contributors are welcome to submit pieces that may fall outside of the stated word count by 5%.

If you have any further questions regarding submissions, please contact the editing team via Instagram DMs @wanweirdzine, or the lead editor at kaylamdougan@gmail.com.
