familystylezine:Hi everyone! We are so flattered and pleasantly surprised by the volume of responses we’ve received so far! It seems like there’s quite a few questions about our zine and we’d like to clarify what we’re looking for in our pitches and final illustrations. 1. We are looking for illustration pitches! Though we value comics artists and writers, since we’re self-funded we unfortunately don’t have room in our budget at the moment. At the moment, the organizers will be taking on the task of writing but we are looking into grants and other funding opportunities in hopes that we can accept more artists and open up the project to writers interested in contributing.2. We apologize for any confusion with our wording– we used the language “Asian dishes” but want to clarify that we welcome any dish relevant to the experience of folks of Asian / Pacific Islander descent. We are also open to people outside the US!3. When reviewing pitches, we will consider how the food reflects the adaptation of AAPI communities throughout history. How does this particular food reflect a change that the community has undergone? This can include class-related struggle, impacts of imperialism or colonialism, or change in perceptions. Please take these questions into consideration when submitting your pitch. (If you have already submitted your pitch, feel free to email us if you want to make any changes.)4. We are looking for illustrations that portray/visualize the food and its connected history, rather than just an illustration of the food. Heads-up for those interesting in pitching for the Family Style zine! If you shared the original call for pitches, we’d appreciate a boost for our clarifications also! -- source link
