Submit to LYR Issue #18

Creature Feature

Love Your Rebellion is accepting art and writing submissions with the theme "Creature Feature" for Issue #18 from Aug. 15th – Oct. 15th, 2022.

Everyone is their own antagonist, and everyone has a story in which they are the villain. From August 15th to October 15th, Love Your Rebellion, Issue 18: Creature Feature invites artists and writers to submit work that investigates the so-called evil that lurks inside, greeting it with compassion and understanding rather than judgment and fear. Submissions by people from marginalized groups are encouraged. Read the guidelines and submit your work below.

LYR and ACT

Since 2020, LYR donates 500 copies of the LYR Zine annually to Abuse Counseling and Treatment for use with their clients in one-on-one sessions, group counseling, and at their Rape Crisis Center in Lee County, FL. ACT is a nonprofit that provides services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. LYR is proud to support their work by supplying therapeutic arts activities!
