Submissions for the first Aro/Ace Collective zine are open!

I have been wanting to do a project like this for a while now to raise awareness of aromantic and asexual identities so I’m very excited to get this ball rolling! That being said, the theme of the first issue will be “Awareness”; awareness of aromonaticism and asexuality in oneself, awareness from others, awareness as an orientation, the interpretation is up to you! 

Rules of Submission:

A short comic (no minimum length) by creators who identify on the aro or ace spectrum regarding the theme of “Awareness” and aromanticism and/or asexuality

Digital, watercolor, charcoal, any medium!

Content that is rated no higher than PG-13 (in order to allow the greatest number of people to enjoy the zine)

Original work, please do not submit art made by anyone but yourself nor can it be fanart based off another person’s work (collaborations are totally fine!)

Any genre! Fiction, non-fiction, autobiographical, fantasy, all fair game

Other Info

Calling all aro/ace illustrators!

I’ve made this blog in hopes of curating a zine an by, for, and about aromantics and asexuals. Short term goal is the have a completed digital zine by the end of the year, long term goal is to make the zine serialized and eventually available in physical form.

 More details about the project will be posted in the near future but for the time being I just wanted to throw a line out there and see if there are any illustrators interested in submitting comics. 

Follow along to get project updates or you can message me with any questions. Let me know what you think!
