[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]
A zine—an abbreviation of
the word

itself originating from the word

most commonly a small circulation,
non-commercial
publication
of original or appropriated texts and images.
More broadly, the term encompasses any
self-published
work of minority interest.

How do I get my materials into the Zine?
Sent
your materials electronically if you're able to
rynzine@niagarapride.ca.
Materials are best sent in the highest quality of JPEG,
DOC, PDF, or RTF format. For further explanation of electronic
submission requirement please email us.
If you
cannot send your materials electronically please email
rynzine@niagarapride.ca
to
arrange a time to scan your items. You are welcome to submit
things manually, but please allow for ample time to have your
items returned.
Can I submit things anonymously?
Absolutely! This Zine is about ensuring sexually and gender
diverse youth have a voice and feel free to express themselves.
As such, you may want to submit something that you don't want
your name tied to. You are welcome to submit things via a
pseudoname or alias, as 'anonymous' or with your real name. Only
first names and last name initials will be included in the Zine
at all times unless a pseudoname or alias is being used.
Who can submit things to the Zine?
Our
aim is to have youth ages 14-24 submit materials to the Zine. We
do however realize that there may be community members who wish
to submit items that are outside of the age range. All
youth submissions will be given priority in the Zine, if there
is space remaining community member submissions will be
considered.
