Zine

Writing, music, art, spells... the Missing Witches Zine exists to publish wild stories in weird formats and to map the many meanings of magic. We publish year-round and are always thrilled to receive pitches. We barely pay ourselves so we can't pay you yet, but we do amplify published work across our network. Watch this space for updated themes and calls for submission through the year, and reach out any time at missingwitches@gmail.com subject: Zine.

I see myself as carrying on the tradition of wise women and witches throughout the ages who have helped women take control of their lives and bodies by managing their fertility.

...when the blooms are spent and the fruits are long gone, all I can see are opportunities.

Rituals and Spells

In mid-life now, I’m looking around for what I’ve salvaged.

I want to write about how it is to love old things, to try and salvage what we can.

Love is abundant.

I insist on honouring my hopeful imaginings, not just my dystopian ones.
