We’re seeking submissions for Issue 1 of the Glasgow Zine Library Press!

The theme for our first zine is: Tuning

We’re looking for illustrations, poetry, essays, short stories, and photography - or anything else that’ll fit in a zine.

We want you to explore what it means to tune in and tune out - to yourself, to others, to politics, to nature, to the world. We encourage you to think creatively about this prompt, take it as literally or figuratively as you want.

Submissions will close on the 16th of April.
