What They’re Looking For:
PLAY Zine is inviting writers, artists, and creatives to contribute to its second edition — “The Outside.” This queer food and culture cookbook-magazine celebrates everything about life beyond boundaries.

They’re calling for essays, short fiction, poetry, recipes, visual art, and reported features that explore queerness and the outdoors — from the freedom of being in nature to living “outside the box.”

Think:
🌿 Queer experiences in the natural world
🔥 Food and community in outdoor spaces
🌈 Life beyond conformity
🌍 Being queer during climate crisis

If your story dances between queerness, culture, food, and the outdoors — PLAY wants to hear from you.

Payment:
Thanks to support from the Brooklyn Arts Council, all accepted contributors will be compensated — typically between $300–$500 per piece.
