Contributor Applications Open

Hello!

While our books are on their way to our studio, we are opening up contributor applications again for the second volume of The Magnus Collection. This time, we will be fundraising for The Trevor Project, in response to the recent anti-Trans* legislation in the United States. 

Founded in 1998 by the creators of the Academy Award-winning short film TREVOR, The Trevor Project is the leading (American) national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25. For more information, visit https://www.thetrevorproject.com/ 

Applications will be open from 19 April to 1 May. We have two loose themes for this volume that you should consider when applying:

Looking Backward - Unearth statements, vignettes, moments, and memories from our time at the institute. Do you have illicit pictures of the Archivist’s cat? Favourite recipes shared from the winter potluck? The secretarial pool’s Spotify playlist? We want it all!

What Is and Can Be - A flash-sideways exploration of the time we’ve shared half a step out of alignment with our reality. The calm at the center of the chaos is the Eye.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, visit the links below and send an application to magnuscollectionzine@gmail.com
