Magazine edition: Voices on Gender, Queerness & Becoming.

Submissions open from December 11th-February 1st 2026.

WHAT ARE WE SEEKING TO DO?

This edition will celebrate the uniqueness of every individual, whether gender queer, non-binary, agender, gender-fluid, transgender, or anyone within the LGBTQ+ community, including those who choose not to label themselves or are still embracing their journey. Each person decides their own path and identity.

WHAT DO IHRAM PRESS PROMISE TO YOU?

We welcome work that reflects on:

• Experiences of feeling “othered” by societal rules and norms.

• Trans joy, resilience, and creativity as forms of resistance.

• Cultural perspectives on gender and identity, and how different societies approach openness.

• Reflections on restrictive laws or policies that deny freedom of expression, and the importance of resisting them through art-activism.

This magazine is not about “unconventionality”, but it is about uniqueness, freedom, and growing communities and care. Through stories, poems, essays, and art, we want to honor the joy, struggles, and resistance of queer and trans lives worldwide.

We welcome submissions from all over the world, regardless of gender or identity.

Magazine edition: Quarter 3, Stories of Land, Climate & Resistance.

Submissions open from March 1st 2026 - May 1st 2026.

WHAT ARE WE SEEKING TO DO?

As global warming accelerates and climate change deepens, we are witnessing more frequent and devastating environmental disasters, often unrecognized or unaddressed by governments, leaving countless people homeless, vulnerable, and disadvantaged.

WE ARE EAGER TO PUBLISH:

• The beauty and importance of protecting our land, air, and waters.

• Stories of resilience, care, and cultural traditions tied to the environment.

• The consequences of environmental destruction and neglect.

• Hopeful visions of renewal, stewardship, and intergenerational responsibility.

WHAT DOES IHRAM PRESS PROMISE TO YOU?

We believe that living in a safe, healthy environment is a human right. This magazine will amplify creative works and remind us to honor and safeguard our ancestral and future home. Share your stories, reflections, and art that empower hope and action for our environment.

Magazine edition: Quarter 4, Stories of Women of Colour, Culture & Becoming.

Submissions open from June 1st 2026 - August 1st 2026.

WE WELCOME CONTRIBUTIONS ON:

• Experiences of discrimination and inequality (health, social, political, economic).

• Intersectional feminism: recognizing that inequalities are lived differently across identities and contexts.

• Cultural and generational stories—memories, traditions, and the legacies women carry.

• Creative expressions of solidarity, empowerment, and collective care.

WHAT ARE WE SEEKING TO DO:

We are opening submissions for an issue dedicated to amplifying the voices of women of colour, including transgender women and women living across cultures as expats, migrants, or in diasporic communities.

This issue will explore stories of hope, resistance, and resilience—shining a light on the struggles, strengths, and creativity of women of colour worldwide.

WHAT DO IHRAM PRESS PROMISE TO YOU?

We also acknowledge that terms such as “women of colour,” “BIPOC,” or “BAME” can be limiting, centering whiteness in ways that feel triggering or reductive. We invite contributors to self-identify in the ways that feel most authentic to them. This issue is a platform for visibility, empowerment, and art as resistance. We recognize that not all inequalities are experienced the same way. Therefore, we wish to highlight intersectional feminism in this collection and amplify those voices.
