Hoopla #3 call for contributions

Hoopla #3 is now in production and we're looking for more contributions. Hoopla is the world's most revolutionary craft zine and has a global audience and distribution network. After an initial foot in the water to see if there would be an interest in such a zine and discovering that there indeed is, Hoopla will now be offered quarterly. And it's gonna get a bit flasher!

Contributors get a free copy, website links in the zine and a 25% discount rate for all future issues. And yes, this applies to contributors to earlier issues, I'll be in touch to let you know how it works.

The theme of Hoopla 3 is 'Radical Inspiration'. We want to hear and see what it is that drives people to make political craft and participate in creative resistance.

Contributions are welcome in the following forms:
Opinion pieces
Craft action reports
Patterns and tutorials
Pictures of finished craft and other inspirational graphics

Contributions may be accepted in the following forms:
Poetry (completely over to editorial whim, don't get your hopes up)

Contributions are never accepted in the following forms:
Advertising (ick)

We'd also like to hear from anyone that wants to offer any of the following skills: graphic design/layout, distribution, proofing. Same deal goes for the contributor benefits.

If you have something that you want to contribute that doesn't fit in with the theme, get in touch and run it by us. It might still be suitable or it might be just perfect for the next issue!

Submissions are due by September by email. If you are planning a contribution, please get in touch and let us know so we can start planning space. The planned release date for this issue is September 30.

Please forward this email on to anyone you think may be interested in contributing.

Love + rage
The Hoopla Collective
