Overview
“Children of immigrants” is a compilation zine about immigrant experiences. Submissions are open to anyone who grew up in an immigrant household. (That is, you grew up in a different country from where your parents or grandparents are from.)
This is a half-page zine (5.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches tall), printed in full-color.
You do not have to have any experience making zines to submit content! All experience levels are welcome.
