Future zines will be released as soon as they are ready.
BirlZine! is a compilation zine of personal writing, essays, poetry, photography, art, news, and resources for and by boyish girls (birls) who enjoy riding the gender wave and don’t let their gender dictate how to look and act. Birls include the range from hetero tomboys to FTMs and everyone in between. This is a safe space for birls to show their black-and-white art and photography; share their poems, essays, and personal stories; and find news, reviews, and resources.
BirlZine! is currently actively accepting submissions!
* Black-and-white art and photography, only—preferably high-contrast pieces.
* Personal stories, essays, rants, or poetry.
* Birl-interest articles, including GLBTQ news, famous birls to watch out for, activism, how-to guides (how to make the perfect pompadour, how to bind, how to use the women’s bathroom without getting kicked out—-JEESH!, and so on), etc.
* Resources, Reviews, and Recommendations, including GLBTQ sites; book, movie, zine, magazine, and music recommendations (artists we can support!) and reviews; news about conferences and drag king shows, etc.
Upcoming BirlZine! themes will focus on drag kings, FTMs, genderqueers, body modifications, and activism. Please send your material on these themes, as well as ideas for future themes!
