FWSA looking for cover illustrations

from my inbox...

Email administrator@fwsa.org.uk for more details


The Feminist and Women's Studies Association (UK & Ireland) is pleased to announce a new initiative in search for original and exciting cover illustrations for its biannual newsletter. We encourage artists, photographers and illustrators to submit a piece of their work for consideration as a cover image. Images should be – in the broadest possible sense – inspired by or relatable to the topics of women, gender and/or feminism. Artists whose work is selected for our newsletter cover will receive a feature in the form of an interview and/or prose piece in the same issue as well as a free copy of the newsletter. Please see below and attached for detailed submission guidelines and a submission form.



The FWSA Newsletter is a biannual publication with a readership of nearly 300 national and international subscribers from a wide range of disciplines and interest areas related to women, gender and feminism. In addition, the newsletter is distributed at a variety of conferences and locations relevant to FWSA’s remit. The newsletter is published in January and July.



Submission Requirements



Submissions can be made throughout the year, but must fulfil the following requirements. If you have any questions about the scheme, please email administrator@fwsa.org.uk. For more information about the FWSA please visit www.fwsa.org.uk.
