Zamoof! Magazine Writer Guidelines (updated Aug 1/08)

 

 

Thank you for your interest! Most of the writing for Zamoof! is done in-house or arranged directly by our office. For visiting writers, we do keep space open for a few short stories in a year. We also have a short piece in our Parent section that appears in each issue done by guest writers. Presently, we've put a close on accepting short stories as we are booked with writers three years in advance. Please note the information below:
