OPEN CALL FOR NEXT DIF ZINE:
Imagine… Spring has sprung, young / elder hearts are running free and lambs are gambolling (irresponsibly). Atop a bed of roses, you turn the pages of the latest dif zine to see NEW, STRANGE, QUEER writing on LOVE in it’s many fucked-up forms. Your tender heart skips a beat…could it be? Your own words / art / photography between our lurid pages? You sigh in bliss, in ecstasy…
That’s right, we’re back for dif zine 03 : LOVEBOMB edition. About queer love, rewired. About subversive romance, outside of norms. About lust, in its glory and its sickness. Be yourself, be dif.
This time, we desire your SUBMISSIONS: short stories, art, cartoons, photography, poetry, manifestos - fiction, non-fiction, or anything else. There are no limits to love.
Send us your writing / art work with an author bio of max 40 words (can include your socials) to [email protected] by noon on the 28/02
Our lonely hearts await…
Don’t be a heartbreaker: please note we won’t accept content made using AI.

dif has no borders and neither do our zine submissions.
Thank you to our friends across the pond at @hipocampochildrensbooks in Rochester, NY for displaying our latest call out.
(As a side note, respect for displaying the light blue Puerto Rican flag…you made this Nuyorican smile with pride)

The joys of Marfans. I have Central Serous Retinopathy - a really bad blurring of my eye. And, it struck my good eye. It's better now but still gets blurry and reading can be hard. I found this - notes I made at the eye A and E. The wonderful eye doctors might get a simple answer, one day.
I really wanted to hear Debbie.
I am not a fan of Christmas but always have a lush time because I spend it with found family. My stomach brought me to A and E on boxing day and life needs to change. As the world seems to go be going bonkers, here's a little something I wrote while watching Eastenders.
The gorgeous people at the Fruitslice liked my words enough to publish them and I am over wealmed. You can read about my love of pop at Pop Goes the Queer (p.46-47).

The Day of the Dif has arrived.
Our second zine is horror in theme, queer in creation.
I couldn’t be more proud of this lovely feeling, spine tingling zine.
We are a small team but our vision is enormous and we’re sure you will agree.
