BirlZine! is a nonprofit zine. All proceeds go into the postage fund so we can send the zine to those who can't afford it.
Are you one of those folks who can't afford it? Send me your mailing address; someone was kind enough to donate a stamp to get one to you. ;)
Menu: BirlZine! 2005 Submission Schedule Shipment Tracking rock scissors paper
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 act. A birl can be a hetero tomboy, an FTM, or anyone in between. This is a safe space for birls to share our work and find relevant news and resources.
BirlZine! is currently actively accepting submissions!
BirlZine! needs contributors! The reason I launched the zine is because I was astounded by all the talent I'd see in our community journal.
Without your talent, I've got no bricks to build with. Don't be shy--send your
work in--it will inspire other birls out there, the younger ones and older ones
alike! For more information, visit the BirlZine! 2005 Submission Schedule
Upcoming BirlZine! themes will focus on drag kings (Winter 2005), FTMs,
genderqueers, body modifications, and activism. Please send your material on
these themes, as well as ideas for future themes!
Other ways you can help:
*BirlZine! needs attention! If you have a copy or when you get a copy, pass it around. Tell people where and how to find it and what it's all about. It's meant to be a resource,
a positive outlet for our artists and writers, and a way to get positive attention for our community.
Also, if you know of local bookstores, music stores, coffee shops, comic book
shops, conferences,
clubs, and organizations (especially high school/college) around you who might
be able to use BirlZine as a resource, please help me get in touch with them!
BirlZine! has flyers that you can print out and distribute for us!
For teeny ones that you can hand out personally, open this PDF.
For bigger ones you can leave around, open this PDF.
Print out, copy, and fold BirlZine! small into quarters and hand them out to your friends! D'you like the awesome genderqueer art in small's centerfold? You can buy it on a t-shirt at
Nik's cafepress shop!
*BirlZine! needs postage! It takes at least sixty cents (eighty-three cents for issue 2) to mail out the zine, which
uses the 8 1/2 x 7 wide-format. My goal is to keep BirlZine! a free zine unless/until production costs get out of hand, but help with postage is totally appreciated. Let me know if you've got stamps sitting around or want to PayPal in a postage donation.
*BirlZine! offers products that go towards funding the zine: BirlShop!
BirlZine! is a nonprofit zine, paid for and distributed
with funds out of its editor’s pocket. Contributors are paid in copy. Until
production costs get out of hand, the only cost to the public is shipping and
handling, at least until production costs get out of hand. For more information,
please contact Julie at julie@birlzine.com or tanrazz@yahoo.com and visit www.rockscissorspaper.org
