Early Submissions for Industrial Park - Summer 2025 Are Open!

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Please read our submission guidelines carefully before sending in your work. The most important things to remember are: you must be 18+ to submit, we accept both art and writing but no AI-generated slop, and all submissions must be in CMYK color format for print. We're looking for anthropomorphic content that fits our zine's aesthetic. While we welcome adult themes and violence, we do have some content restrictions.

Page Sizing
  • We print zines at half-letter size (5.5 x 8.5 inches)
  • The safe zone measures 5.125 x 8.125 inches
  • For best results, create your artwork at 300 DPI
  • This means a canvas size of 1650 x 2550 pixels, with a 1538 x 2438 pixel safe zone
  • Comics should ideally be kept entirely within the safe zone
  • Full-size art pages must keep key elements (text, subjects, comic panels) within the safe zone
  • This ensures that no vital elements are cut off during printing
Color
  • For best results with printing, use CMYK color
  • RGB color (default for the web) will not translate perfectly to print
  • Most art software will allow you to export and preview in CMYK
  • Avoid 100% K Registration Black in your coloring (What this means)
Signatures
  • Signatures will go on every piece of art in the zine to ensure proper crediting
  • If a signature is not already there and obviously legible, we will add one for you based on your name in the submission form
  • The signature we add are usually placed in a corner
  • For best results: add your own signature or logo (and keep it in the safe zone!)
Writing
  • We accept all kinds of writing: stories, recipes, opinion pieces, poems, schizoid ramblings, etc
  • Please ensure your writing has proper grammar and spelling
  • We may request you refine your work for clarity
  • We would prefer you use Google Docs if possible so we can give editing suggestions
  • Let us know if an art piece should go with a story
  • Standard Word Limit: 500 words
  • If your story exceeds 500 words, please pitch it to us first. We likely cannot accept pieces over 2000 words.
