FAQNP's A Queer Nerd Publication

Call for Submissions for Issue_06: The End Game of Queer Nerds – Visualized

FAQNP – (FAQNP’s A Queer Nerd Publication)
– a non-ironic occasional publication for queer nerds and their admirers

FAQNP is a magazine about and for queer nerds who feel outside the mainstreaming of queer culture. The publication covers the ordinary lives and interests of queers, because the ordinary is often quite interesting. Life is full of interesting people, things, and ideas, yet we are at times perplexed and left out by the tepid discussion and outlets of queer culture.

The theme of the sixth issue is The End Game of Queer Nerds – Visualized. We’re seeking primarily visual (photography, illustration, graphic + information design) works, which explore the crash course of queer and nerd culture and the mainstream. Text submissions will be accepted as well, but should have a visual component to it. We take a broad approach to the topic, so just make it fun, smart, and nerdy. Still questioning, or curious? Just ask.

On a more pedantic note on submissions, since this is self-funded project, we can’t pay for your words or art. We hope that we will able to afford that one day. You’ll also have to give us permission to use your submission as we see fit. (We promise to be gentle.) However, we can offer you, an outlet for your ideas, a couple of free issues, and our gratitude. Images and visuals are great too, just make sure that you take them, and/or have the rights for their publication.

Please send submissions to: submissions@faqnp.com We would love to hear from you.

Thanks to everyone who braved the cold and stopped by the release party hosted by the fine folks at the Bureau. They extended their pop-up store through February, so please stop by if you haven’t already. For those who aren’t in NYC, you can purchase it through our online store, and we’re also rolling it out to other store.

Thank you.
