DeepMay Publication
Call for Submissions
Deadline for Pitches: April 12, 2026
Send us your pitch to zine@deepmay.net
Pitches should explain the content of the piece, its style, its length & size, and whether it can be published in print, digital, or both.
We are a multi-media format publisher, and welcome pieces of all shapes and sizes. That might include written texts, images, works of art, maps, games, riddles, .mp3's, technical manuals, curated archives, course syllabi, you name it. Whether this is your first or five-hundredth published piece, we are thrilled to collaborate with you.
If you want to publish in our FIRST EVER ISSUE, please submit your pitch no later than April 12, 2026. If we accept your pitch, be prepared to send us your final draft by mid – late May, 2026. For our first issue, we are prioritizing submissions that can be published in print, but please still reach out if you have an idea for a digital-only piece. We will launch the digital publication in 2027 and want to co-design our website to be able to host your work.

- Curated reading lists, syllabi, or intellectual programs
- Learning exercises you would like to see more people engage with
