Hey folks! I'm sorry I disappeared off the face of the earth. My illness flared up in the past months, but I'm feeling a little better now. I hope to start over with Transform!

I still haven't forgotten about this little project! We're facing some financial hardships and are in the process of moving in with family. Still, we're accepting submissions! I'm still working on the design! If any of you folks have questions, hit me up :)

This project isn't dead, I swear! I had a really bad fibro flare up, but I'm still working on things. We're still accepting submissions!

I've been quietly working on the layout's design for our first anthology. We've also opened up the anthology to visual art instead of just poetry. Please submit your art and your poems! I'd love to have some new submissions to read.

Messing around with color palettes & I think it's pretty cute. It's based of the trans flag but more muted!

Looking into getting an actual website for @transformmag. A very basic website hosted by GoDaddy would cost approximately 72$ per year. If we were to ever accept donations, would any of you kind folks be willing to support us?

[Transform Anthology @transformmag]

Just letting you folks know that we'll never gatekeep here: you identify as trans, non-binary, or gender non-conforming? You're good to go! We're a massive spectrum of individuals and I think that's a beautiful thing ♥️

@HUM1D1F13R That's also a good idea! My original idea for putting it in the TOC was so people would be able to skip through pages that they might find hurtful entirely, but having a more descriptive tw on the header could work as well!

How would you folks feel about us adding trigger warnings to the table of contents page? We think this would be a good way to help keep our readers safe and healthy whilst enabling our submitters to talk about heavier subjects without risking the reader's safety.

Looking at different magazine covers to get inspired for our own design. Thinking of including luna moths in our cover. They usually symbolize rebirth and renewal of body & spirit. I think that's pretty neat!

@Ink_Nebula Thank you so much! I'm totally gonna check that out :)

[Transform Anthology @transformmag]

I'd love to use Submittable for our submissions process, but this disabled trans guy is broke! Are there any good alternatives? Or should we just keep accepting submissions via email?

[Transform Anthology @transformmag]

Was looking into using Blurb for creation of the lit mag, but then the ebooks would cost 9.99$ :/ We want this to be accessible to everyone and don't want to hide our content behind a pay wall, so it looks like we won't offer hard copies.

[Transform Anthology @transformmag]

How would you folks feel if I extended submissions to visual art in a more general sense? Photography, mixed media, 3D art... Basically anything besides animation. Would you folks be more likely to submit if the range of material we accepted was wider?

[Transform Anthology @transformmag]

Acceptance letter sent! Internet is finally working again. I need more poems and photos to accept :) Send us in your work, I'm dying to look at emotive pieces!

[Transform Anthology @transformmag]

Just as I was about to send someone their acceptance the internet went out 😭😭😭

[Transform Anthology @transformmag]

Hey folks! I'm gonna be going over submissions today & tomorrow. Sorry for the slowness! Chronic illness has got me a little down & I somehow managed to hurt my ankle too. That's what's up! If you have any questions about the submission process, feel free to ask :)

[Transform Anthology @transformmag]

@teenbellemag Thank you 😭😭😭
