Sharpen those typing skills and submit your spine-tingling tales of horror, hair-raising terror, nauseating fear and/or creeping dread. (FYI, those phrases should never appear in your writing :)
Send it, send it, send it. Worst case scenario we say no, but we've been told our rejection letters are pretty sweet, so no heartbreak there either!
The new issue is out! Winter 2011 is officially available for purchase.

Women in REDzine
Women in REDzine is the first multicultural literature and art magazine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We are proud of this legacy and wish to emphasize that our focus has always been, and will remain, the continued celebration and uplifting of ALL women and our multicultural heritage. Women in REDzine works to increase the visibility and interaction of artists, writers, musicians and dancers within diverse cultural communities.
Mission of Women in REDzine
Through the power of print, Women in REDzine (WIRZ) focuses on giving students of the UW-Madison community, and their supporters, a platform for artistic expression and a voice against all forms of oppression and social injustice. Women in REDzine is a multi-cultural literary magazine dedicated to the arts and humanities; a publication in which works of art live harmoniously on the page with prose, poetry and featured interviews from people in the business of creating beautiful expressions of either.
Our magazine does not claim to represent our contributors, but rather we provide a cohesive space for them to represent themselves through their own voice, their own words, and their own forms of artistic expression. By creating a publication of this nature, incorporating the works of people from different backgrounds, experiences, identities and cultures, we hope to encourage cross-cultural dialogue, multicultural education through the arts, and establish a community of respect and heightened awareness.
History of Women in REDzine
REDzine is the first, and only, multicultural literature and art magazine of its kind at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This publication was founded to amplify the voices of the marginalized and under-represented communities of individuals, both on campus and in the wider Madison community. Before REDzine , women of color, women's expression, and multi-cultural women's issues were largely ignored by other campus magazines, newsletters, and publications.
Recently, after undergoing major structural changes, REDzine has become an accepted, nationally accredited outlet for that artistic expression and we feel that by offering the best of what we have, we not only produce an outstanding literary journal, but in doing so, we strengthen our community of writers.

Submit to Women in REDzine
This is an open call for ALL artists, writers, dancers, musicians, poets, photographers, journalists, breakers, rhymesayers, activists, video artists, capoeiristas, fire spinners, storytellers, world travelers, spoken word artists, and revolutionary thinkers!!!! If you can make it creative, we want to see it, read it, hear it, or experience it...So SEND it!!
Women in REDzine embraces all art forms. If you're unsure where to send your submission, write to us and enquire about how you should submit. We love getting mail! Women in REDzine does accept simultaneous submissions, however, in the event that the work is accepted for publication elsewhere, please do us the courtesy of informing us promptly. Only previously unpublished, wholly ORIGINAL works will be considered for publication.
Our reading period is currently open . Cover letters should include a word count and indicate whether the submission is fiction, nonfiction, or poetry.
Note: While other journals and magazines encourage writers to read their back issues to get a sense of what it is that they are looking for, and what they like to publish, we at Women in REDzine encourage you to read our back issues to get a feel of some of what we don't want; the previous aesthetic, while wonderful, is completely different from the one that we are now exploring and does not reflect the direction that we wish to go in...besides, it's never good to repeat yourself. We strive to be continually evolving and improving the magazine!
Instructions for prose submissions...
We do our best to respond within four-six weeks, however, in some cases this period may be longer. If you have not received a response from us within two months, we will be happy to respond to your e-mail inquiries. We do ask that you please wait until you hear back from us before submitting new work for consideration.
