SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

 

We occasionally accept submissions for online exclusive features and pitches for print. So please feel free to e-mail us with ideas and samples of your work. Furthermore we are also always on the lookout for new and regular contributors, including photographers, stylists, writers, illustrators and graphic designers. So, whether you are an established professional or the new kid on the block and you feel your work suits our style and quality, we can’t wait to hear from you!

When submitting photo shoots, please send a full selection of photographs in small Jpegs and a credit list for all clothing/accessories used in a Google Drive folder (include the link in your e-mail). ­If submitting a concept, please include text as well as visuals to explain your ideas and suggestions for potential models. Writers need to include samples of articles (published or unpublished), in particular interviews and in-depth features, with a brief pitch for three story ideas.

E-mail Submissions:

  • Photographers: once your shoot has been approved and shot, please provide us with proof images. This allows us to select our favourite images and saves you time editing. We will then ask you to edit the selected images to your best ability.

  • Graphic Designers and Illustrators: we would love to see samples of your work. Please either send us low resolution images or a link to your work.

  • Writers: please send any articles directly or alternatively send your ideas and examples of previous work.

If you are an agent and would like one of your talents to be featured, please simply provide us with their latest profile/resume or press release.

Please email team@zerothemag.com for all pitches or submissions, PDF or low resolution jpegs only, please no transfer or download link.

Please allow 72 hours for us to respond. We review every email that is sent through.

If we don’t get back within a week please accept our apologies, but the shoot isn’t quite right for us.
