Call for Submissions for Borderlands Zine #3

I am currently seeking personal stories and visual art on the theme of
RELATIONSHIPS and PARENTING for the upcoming issue of a compilation zine
about people of color's mixed-race, bicultural and transracial adoptee
identities. Stories should be non-fiction and no more than 1,000 words.
Prose only, please. Visual art should be black and white and replicate
well in a copy machine (minimal grey tones). Submissions for issue 3 are
due JANUARY 1st, 2009. Please email them in Rich Text Format to
oxette [at] riseup[dot]net and help forward this call widely.

**I know you are looking at the deadline and thinking "January 1st? That's
like light-years away!" but people seem to get hella busy during the
holidays, so please start writing now and submit early. This helps me get
the zine out in a timely manner. <3**>

You can get Borderlands #1 & #2 for free @ QZAP.org
and both are also available for purchase at StrangerDangerDistro.com and
ShortandQueer.com.)

[Your stories are valuable, and it's time to bring our often neglected
cross-cultural and multi-racial experiences from margin to center by
telling our own stories! -Nia]
