Friends of Friends is an independent art and literary zine featuring emerging artists working across photography, poetry, essays, short stories, and experimental creative work. Each issue explores a theme through curated artist submissions.

Friends of Friends publishes photography, poetry, short fiction, essays, visual art, and experimental creative projects from emerging and independent artists.

Artists can submit photography, poetry, essays, short stories, and visual art through our open call for submissions. Each issue centers around a theme that artists respond to with original work. We take all our submissions via email at friendsoffriendszine@gmail.com. Stay tuned to our Instagram and TikTok to know when submissions are reopened for our next issue.

Friends of Friends accepts submissions from emerging and independent artists worldwide. Both published and unpublished creatives are encouraged to apply.

Each volume launch is commemorated with a launch party at local businesses in and around Brooklyn, New York. We also have a new series called Open Forum that will heavily involve our community as we bring to life spoken word, storytelling, and live musical performances. These events will be ticketed and a portion of the proceeds go to charity.
