Submission Guidelines

Editorial Policy:
Our mission at Flushed is to provide support and acceptance to people with eating disorders and body image issues. We will not publish anything that opposes this goal. Before you send in your submission, you might want to take a look at the content of the 'zine and the vision/mission statement for Sheena's Place (our publisher). This is a quarterly publication, and the editors may change from issue to issue, but our goals will stay the same.

Text submissions (i.e. stories, essays etc):
We ask that these be no more than 2000 words in length, that they be type written and double-spaced. We will try, at all times, to respect the integrity of your work but we may not have room for all of it, so we reserve the right to edit your submissions as we see fit.

Authorship:
Please let us know how you would like to be acknowledged: your name, e-mail address, initials, anonymous.

Visual submissions (i.e. drawings, paintings etc):
If submitting via email, we ask that the image fit onto one screen, that the file size be no larger than one megabyte and that the resolution be 75 dpi. If you are submitting via regular mail, we ask that the image be no larger than a regular piece of letter-sized paper (8.5"*11").

For all submissions please note:

• If you are submitting via regular mail, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you would like us to return your submission.

• We cannot guarantee that your submission will be returned, so please do not send us the only copy. For text submissions, keep a photocopy or computer disk. For visual submissions, send us a high-quality photograph/photocopy/scanned copy.

• You will not be paid for your submission, even if we do publish it. This is a volunteer project.
