Deadline: 5th January 2026 at 5pm

Lip Service is a quarterly publication by the Vagina Museum in the style of old school community magazines. In this A5 zine, the content ranges from expanded exhibition content and other longform commentary and cultural critique, to horoscopes and letters. The hope is that it serves as a forum for community engagement and knowledge exchange.

As a creative, promotional and educational outlet, Lip Service also serves as another channel by which the Vagina Museum might share our work with the public. Our work being:

1. Spreading knowledge and raising awareness of the gynaecological anatomy and health

2. Giving confidence to people to talk about issues surrounding the gynaecological anatomy 

3. Erasing the stigma around the body and gynaecological anatomy

4. Acting as a forum for feminism, women’s rights, the LGBT+ community and the intersex community

5. Challenging heteronormative and cisnormative behaviour

6. Promoting intersectional, feminist and trans-inclusive values

We are accepting submissions for Letters, Commentary, Fiction, as well as questions for Ms Fallopia.

Commentary, fiction, visual and question submissions should respond to, engage with, or in some sense tackle the theme of disability & sex. There are few topics as shrouded in stigma and silence as disabled sexuality. From eugenicist sterilisation policies to depictions in media, disabled people have rarely been given the chance to speak on their ability, desire, and freedom to have and pursue intimate relationships – be they sexual, romantic, or otherwise. With this issue, we invite the community to reflect on their own experiences, comment on the contemporary landscape surrounding disability justice, and explore the topic of disability & sex in whatever way inspires them. 

Consider this a forum, a platform for disabled voices. From academic analyses to personal accounts, we’re interested in it all. The zine is a collaborative, mixed media project so we encourage not only written submissions, but visual too.
