Want to write for girlblog?

Punk singer Poly Styrene is singing into a microphone, wearing a blue twin set, with a pink jumper underneath and a red bandana in her brown, curly hair.

girlblog! is looking for submissions of guest blogs on different aspects of alternative culture.

You can also submit original poetry and personal essays.

This website has a DIY riot grrrl ethic, taking inspiration from the punk and queer feminist zines.

Preferably, submissions would be on the following topics:

  • film & tv

  • music

  • literature

  • lifestyle

and should provide an intersectional perspective.

Articles should be between 500-1500 words long — whatever works for you.

Poetry should stay within 40 lines, not including titles, dedications, or stanza breaks.

Any personal essays must be told from an alternative and intersectional perspective, and be within 2500 words.

No content written using AI will be accepted.

If you want to know more or have an idea, story, or poem in mind that you think would work well on girlblog!, drop me an email.

Cherie Curie fronts The Runaways in the 1970s, wearing a white boilersuit with silver platform knee-highs and long gloves. She stands bow-legged, singing into a microphone with a wide mouth.
