Have your sample pieces Haikyuu related
Send us links to pieces you have published, merch pieces you have created, or zines you have been apart of
Use the last box on the application as a place to put your cover letter, introducing yourself, your experience, and why you want to contribute to this zine
Contribution Payment
All contributors will be provided with a digital copy of the zine, in addition all net profit (less a small percentage to be reinvested in the zine) will be divided amongst contributors and mods. We feel like it’s only right to pay contributors for their work with monetary compensation.
Monetary payment will be less any transaction fees and will be done through pay palIf profits allow, we would also like to provide a physical version of the zine
In the event that the zine results in a monetary loss, contributors will NOT be liable for the loss
