This zine is a collection of unfinished thoughts, creative experiments, and ideas that don’t quite fit into traditional categories. If you’ve ever written a paragraph that meanders, sketched something that didn’t turn out as expected, or composed a melody that feels like it’s still searching for resolution, this project might be for you. We’re inviting submissions of work-in-progress—short stories that trail off, drawings left incomplete, musical fragments, or even notes scribbled on napkins. Think of this zine as a space where the ‘imperfect’ is celebrated, where the process matters as much as the result.
Submissions are open until September 15th. We accept short stories (under 2000 words), poetry, visual art, and audio tracks. Files should be under 4MB—Word/PDF for text, JPG/PNG for images, and MP3 for audio. You can submit using the button below. Anonymous submissions are welcome; just include a pseudonym if you’d like to be credited for future projects. I will review and comment on every single piece of work. Nothing is shown publicly while submissions are open—everything stays private until the deadline passes, and then the pieces go up here on the website with my comments alongside them. Whether it’s a half-finished sketch, an unfinished poem, or a musical idea that never quite took off, we want to hear from you. Every piece is a step in the creative journey—no work should feel too small.
