Sad Pretty Girls is looking for a graphic designer! Send your portfolio and CV to sadprettygirlsofcolor@gmail.com if you would like to be considered for this project.

❥

SPG has received an overwhelming amount of support. Our inbox is already being flooded but we’re not satisfied; we want you! If you haven’t submitted yet, please do: sadprettygirlsofcolor@gmail.com. For those who’ve submitted, we will be getting back to you personally soon. The submissions deadline is still 1st January, 2013. We look forward to hearing you.

We’ve noticed there’s a lot of confusion regarding the name of the collection. To clarify, you don’t have to be clinically depressed or pretty by anyone’s standard, much less ours, for your work to be considered for this project. You just have to be a woman of color with a story to tell.

As we said in September, “Sad Pretty Girls is a collection of art and writing which seeks to explore post-adolescence and cultural identity through the perspective of millennial women of color.” Basically, send us anything you think women in our (loose) demographic can relate to! We’re interested in your story. We left that part of our guidelines purposefully vague to encourage creativity. We want your poems about death, falling in love, new media, old media and more; we want your artwork exploring themes like sexuality, religion and illness; we want your story. Even if you don’t think that your story fits, send it anyway. We want to hear from you.
