2026 Zine Call for Submissions

We want to include everything you may be feeling right now: Joy, rage, love, solidarity, angst, and the broad diversity of the trans experience. We strongly encourage submissions from all identities, mediums, and levels of confidence.

Submit virtually for the 2026 Zine here : https://tinyurl.com/TransOhioZine

There were 3 qualifications for submission for the 2026 zine: 

• you must be trans/nonbinary/gender non-conforming

• live in Ohio

• your submission must be about some aspect of your trans experience

All submissions meeting those criteria will be included. 

No hard deadline. Later entries will be included in the next zine.

Everyone with an included submission will receive a free copy of the zine. We hope to have both print and digital copies available.

Submissions can come in any form of expression that speaks to you that can be reproduced in print media. Some examples of content types: short stories, essays, poems, art, statements, pictures, comics, jokes, shared moments, doodles, photos, and everything else in-between. No submission is too small in length or degree: all joy and rage is valid. Our trans joy is resistance and power and we're very excited to showcase that.

100% of proceeds from printed editions of the zine will go towards TransOhio's gender and name change mutual aid grants.
