Got something creative in you? We know it, and we want it! Submit your journal entries, affirmations, poems, songs, short stories, traditional/experimental/visual art, or even scribbles on a napkin. If it can live on paper (even as a qr code), we welcome you to submit using the form below!
Comparte tu creatividad con Cartas & Care Club!
¿Tienes algo creativo dentro de ti? Nosotros lo sabemos, ¡y lo queremos! Envíanos tus entradas de diario, afirmaciones, poemas, canciones, cuentos cortos, arte tradicional/experimental/visual, o incluso garabatos en una servilleta. Si puede vivir en papel (aunque sea mediante un código qr), te invitamos a enviar tu obra creativa utilizando el formulario a continuación.
Why Should I Submit?
One contributor wins a FREE month for a friend!
All contributors get two zines with their mail—one to keep, another to share?
Be featured in our social media, newsletter, and website (optional).
Cartas Collective exists as a shared space where creativity is seen, celebrated, and sent out into the real world for all to enjoy. Connect with the club and get eternal bragging rights for being a beautiful soul brimming with brilliance <3
Who Can Submit?
Anyone 18 years old or older (or with parental/guardian permission if younger)
Members of Cartas & Care Club are prioritized. We want your voices front and center! Even if you have not received your mailer, as long as you have signed up, you are a member.
Not a Member yet? Guest Contributors are welcome to submit too, but if selected, will only receive the zine they are featured in.
Remember: Your voice matters, no matter your experience.
What Happens After I Submit?
Multiple pieces are chosen, but only ONE is randomly selected as the winner of the FREE month for a friend.
All submissions are carefully reviewed. After about 1-2 weeks, you will be notified via email if you are selected as a contributor for the upcoming monthly zine. If accepted, please respond to your acceptance by the deadline provided, or else your place may be forfeited to someone else!
Selected pieces will appear on our monthly zine and may also be featured in our social media, newsletter, and website!
What Can I Submit?
Your creative work can be unpublished or previously published (if it’s been published, let us know, so we can give proper credit).
Writing: Poems, journal entries, affirmations, micro-stories, song lyrics, reflections, excerpts from your essays, letters, or any form of written expression carrying a piece of your heart. If it speaks to you, let us hear it!!!
Art: Drawings, sketches, collages, paintings, illustrations, photography, sculptures, doodles, printmaking, mixed media, or any visual creation carrying a piece of your heart. Traditional, visual, or experimental—all expressions of creativity are welcome.
Other Creative Ideas: Music videos, performance art, dance, dioramas, patchwork, quilts, vision boards, audio note, text message exchanges, etc. If you’ve made it, we want it!
Tips: If your piece already exists digitally (like a video, performance, audio, etc.) on your website/socials, just supply your link and we’ll create a QR code for the zine. If it only exists as a file, we can host it on our website and link it via QR code. Anything that can be represented on paper can become a part of Cartas Collective: Our Community Zine—a shared space for community, creativity, and care.
