Ever want to know what makes Microcosm tick? Now you can. To celebrate Microcosm Publishing’s 21st anniversary, the Microcosmonauts are putting together a new zine!<\/span><\/span><\/em>\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Dear readers, zinesters, writers, and friends,<\/p>\n

To celebrate Microcosm’s 21 years in business, I want to produce the next piece of our story: a zine about the experiences and passions of the people that have made up Microcosm’s sweat, blood, and tears. I want to celebrate the people who have made Microcosm what it is now through good and bad, and to share our voices and all the reasons why we do what we do.<\/p>\n

The theme for this zine is BAGGAGE<\/strong>\u00a0(We’ve All Got It). Because like any business, we are made up of folks who are people, and like all people, we’ve all got some kind of baggage. Emotional, psychological, physical, familial, legal, romantic; the list could go on, right? Who doesn’t have somethin’?
\nSo let’s talk about it.<\/p>\n

In this zine collection of essays, articles, and art from Microcosmonauts past and present, we’re talking about our lives: our pasts, our passions, and our problems. What brought us here and what the hell keeps us going?
\nBut for this to truly celebrate the people who make Microcosm what it is, we also need you.We wouldn’t be anything without all the zinesters, readers, and BFFs out there that keep us going. So tell us about you.<\/p>\n

How did you discover Microcosm Publishing?
\nWhat draws you to our titles? What do you like about them or us?
\nHas a Microcosm book or zine ever helped you through a problem or critical situation or led you on an adventure?
\nWhat kind of baggage has something from Microcosm helped you to unpack, solve, or sort through?
\nHas a zine ever gotten you through a panic attack, a bad hair day, or tough times?
\nTell us about it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re looking for short personal essays, stories, mini-comix, or zine pages having to do with Microcosm, our books, our mission, what we do, etc. The theme we’re using to bring all of this together is (We’ve All Got) “Baggage”, so think about ways your work might reflect or fit into that theme.<\/p>\n

Some other questions you might consider if you’re interested: What do you think makes Microcosm unique, and why do you like it? What part of our mission or brand reflects or differs with your own personal values, perspectives, or identity\u200b? What do you wish you saw more of?<\/p>\n

Deadline is August 1st<\/strong>, and submissions should be 300-1000 words (though feel free to submit art\/other media) and can be as creative as the above call to action strikes you.<\/p>\n

Email me directly at Cyn@microcosmpublishing.com<\/a> with questions and submissions. Include [BAGAGGE Submission] in your subject line.<\/p>\n

Thank you for keeping us going, and here’s to 21 more years of punk rock publishing.<\/p>\n
