zine

EXILE books is offering LOTS of oportunities to and be paid and published between now and the end of 2021

Upload your zines to the EXILE Zine Pool and be elgible for ranging from $100 to $500!  The Pool serves as an open ended submissions database for juried selections for special projects, as well as a virtual zine library. 

Heres how it works:

*It doesn't cost any money to submit your work and you can submit as many different works as you like. 

*Every zine will be on public view in the zine pool. Jurors for special projects will make their pics exclusively from the pool. 

What type of work should I send in? 

Juries will be looking for material that focuses on these areas:

Activism - release date: Winter 2020 ( multiple $100 awards will be offered )
Were looking for printed works that champion a wide variety of causes. The jury will pick for works that highlight the democratic nature of zine making and grass roots activism that represent the political, environmental, economic and cultural issues concerning Miami's tropical geography and international blend of cultures. 

Erotic - release date: Spring 2021 (multiple $100 awards will be offered )
Turn us on to printed works that cover the wide range of topics concerning all spectrums of sexuality. The jury will look for works that speak to sex positivity, sensuality, sexual awareness, LGBTQ themes, and provocative artistic expression.

EXILE Books will offer virtual zine making residencies with our design studio located in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami. Several artists will be commissioned to complete a broadside newspaper aided by EXILE’s design team. The works produced by residents will be included in EXILE’s online shop, and exclusively featured in the Zine Machine, a retrofitted vintage newspaper dispenser. The dispensers will be placed around different areas of Miami in venues such as a downtown mall, record shops, restaurants, nail salons, tattoo parlors, bars, museums, etc.
