FAQs
Do you pay for submissions?
Currently all zine profits go toward paying for the next zine to be published. Unfortunately we are unable to pay for contributions. However, contributors will recieve a 50% discount on the zine their work appears in (basically this means you’re just paying for the printing and shipping costs).
Do you accept work that’s been published before?
Yes, you are welcome to submit work that has been submitted to to other publications. You are also welcome to submit work to other publications that you have submitted to Learn & Create.
Please note: All work MUST have been created by YOU, and must be original. For essays and articles, please cite your sources, which will be included in the zine Sources Section and the accompanying webpage.
