Craft Essays & Thirst Traps
Hunk of Burning Love will be a thirsty zine for crafty, irreverent writers of all stripes.
What sort of craft essays?
Tell us about your approaches to worldbuilding, your feelings on the phrase “purple prose,” what darlings you refused to kill and how you’ve managed to tell instead of show, despite all forces to the contrary. Tell us about your hard-won editorial lessons, your workspace, your writing schedule. Tell us about your surefire recipe for a successful workshop, the best writing residency you ever went to, or your tactics for submitting work to the best markets. Then send us your snaps.
What sort of thirst traps?
While we’re inspired by BUTT Magazine, Hunk of Burning Love is an all-genders, all-bodies, equal opportunity ogle situation. We’re open to suggestive selfies, racy thirst traps, and nudes tasteful and otherwise.
What sort of zine?
Here’s the plan: it’ll be 5”x5” and b&w like our other zines. We’ll print 100 copies and have digital pdfs too. We’ll sell the zine for a bit more ($10 prob) so we can pay contributors $50.
Where do I submit?
If you wanna submit, go here. We’ll try and let folks know around July if your work is a good fit for the zine.
