Call for Submissions

The members of Zine Club Chicago love snacks (almost) as much as they love zines, so the group is celebrating their collective snackiness with a collab zine. Send in your writing, lists, comics, drawing, collage & more all about SNACKS!

Updated food pyramids made up only of snacks, an essay about discovering Zapp’s chips on your first trip to New Orleans, a renaissance-style still life of your favorite noshes, a power ranking of the most coveted sleepover snacks of 2000, a poem about your first experience of the munchies . . . if it pertains to the realm of the edible, Zine Club Chicago wants to know about it!

Submission guidelines: 500 words max for writing; 4.5” x 7.5” max, black & white + 300 dpi for artwork. (One submission per contributor, please; you’re welcome to submit images to accompany a written submission, or text to accompany a visual art submission.) Due to space limitations, please limit visual submissions to 2 pages max.

SUBMISSION LINK HERE: bit.ly/snackzine

Deadline: July 31, 2022

All contributors will receive a free copy of the zine! Zine Club Chicago is planning for an autumn 2022 release, and will keep everyone updated via the email address you provide.

Co-edited by Rachel Hyman, Liz Mason, and Cynthia E. Hanifin

Here at Quimby’s Bookstore, 1854 W. North Ave. in Wicker Park

We know that making progress on your zine projects is probably one of your new year’s resolutions, so Zine Club Chicago is kicking off 2020 with a special event: The No Sleep ’Til Stapling Zinemaking Hangout!

Bring your work-in-progress, create a new zine on the spot, or just catch up with other zine folks at our 4-hour Friday night event. (Quimby’s will not be holding a Zlumber Party this year, so our gathering will channel that chill hangout vibe.) We’ll have zinemaking supplies, creative prompts, and lots of snacks on hand. Zinemakers are encouraged to bring their zines to swap with others, as well! We’ll keep the zinemaking party rolling from 6 to 10 p.m.; feel free to drop in anytime during the evening.

Zine newbies and longtime enthusiasts alike are always welcome to join us at Zine Club Chicago, the city’s only book club-style event for people who read zines. This free monthly series is produced by Chicago Zine Fest/Midwest Perzine Fest organizer Cynthia E. Hanifin and hosted by Quimby’s Bookstore.
