The Burgundy Zine
We may have been tricked by technical difficulties this month – but don’t fret, there are plenty of treats to come on The Burgundy Zine this November.
A Quick Announcement…
As you may have heard in our announcement and email memos sent out earlier this week, the file for “The Burgundy Zine #10: Spooky Psychology” corrupted 102 pages into working on it the day before it was intended to be released.
We are still releasing an October and November issue of The Burgundy Zine. The new release date for the October issue hasn’t been announced yet, but we are aiming to have it published before Nov. 12.
The November issue of The Burgundy Zine will still be released on Nov. 28.
Therefore, the soft deadline for submissions to the November issue of The Burgundy Zine is Nov. 21. The hard deadline to submit content is noon on Nov. 27.
More information about submitting to the November issue will be published next week.
