Gather Zine is designed as a gathering place for storytelling, poetry, conversation and reflection.

Submissions now open for our fourth issue of Gather🪴
Theme: Abundance
Closing date: 10th October 2025

In celebration of Autumn and its rich crop harvests, beautiful colours and opportunities for shedding what no longer serves us (and embracing all that does) - this issue’s theme is… ABUNDANCE

🍎🥕🌽🥦🥔🍅🫜🧅🍓🍇🍏🍐

We would love you to share your stories, fiction, thoughts, essays and poems with us. How does abundance show up in your life? What are the things we take for granted that make up a rich and fulfilling existance? How do you measure the season of Autumn? Do you notice the change in colours? Bring out different clothes? Write an ode to your favourite seasonal fruit or vegetable? It’s all welcome here 🥬

Please send them to hello.gatherzine@gmail.com

Once we’ve curated our selection they will be printed in a little book, available to buy in the UK for a donation amount. Any profit we make will go back into the next zine 🌱
