SUBMISSIONS.2.png

Welcome to SavZr0 - a digital magazine dedicated to games, fandom, and the many ways we feel, create, and connect through them.

​

This space was built for the players, the fans, the modders, the overthinkers, and anyone who has ever cared too much about fictional worlds. Whether you write essays about your favourite game endings, want to reflect on a character arc that changed you, or have thoughts about the intersection of fandom and culture, we want to hear from you.

Online Submissions are currently closed!

What We’re Looking For
Personal pieces on gaming and fandom culture
Reviews of games, especially niche or overlooked titles
Think pieces on character design, mechanics, modding, or in-game communities
Fandom-focused essays; ship essays, long-form meta, trope discussions
Culture features exploring how games overlap with identity, music, fashion, or everyday life
Nostalgia deep-dives into old internet culture, fan spaces, or gaming eras

​

Please Note
We do not accept CVs, poetry, or standalone art submissions
All pieces must be original and not published elsewhere
You do not need to be a professional writer to submit; just someone with something to say
Pitches are welcome if you want to check an idea before drafting

  • Ready to share your work? Here’s how to send it in:

    ​

    1. Email your submission to svzsubmissions@gmail.com
      (You can also pitch an idea before drafting if you’d prefer!)

    2. Use the subject line: SUBMISSION – [Your Piece Title]

    3. Attach your piece as a Google Doc or Word Doc
      (Please don’t send PDFs or write it in the body of the email)

    4. In your email, include:

      • Your name (or the name you'd like published under)

      • A short 2–3 sentence bio

      • Any social links or portfolio (optional!)

      • A 1–2 sentence summary of what your piece is about

    ​

    If you haven’t heard back after 10 days, feel free to nudge us with a follow-up. Thanks for trusting SavZr0 with your voice. We’re excited to read what you’ve created.

  • Writing
    We accept personal essays, reviews, opinion pieces, and features about gaming, fandom, online culture, identity, nostalgia, and storytelling. If you have a topic in mind that feels right for SavZr0 but isn’t listed here, feel free to include a short description with your submission or pitch;  we’re open to fresh angles and voices.

    We do not accept articles intended for self-promotion or advertorial content.

    Personal Essays: These should fall between 600 and 1,200 words. Think emotional connection, player experiences, or stories that reflect how games shape us.

    Reviews/Previews: Aim for 800 to 1,500 words, offering an honest and personal look at a game, update, or trend. We especially love under-the-radar titles or fandom-heavy perspectives.

    Feature Articles: For deeper dives, including long-form analysis, fandom history, interviews, or broader culture pieces, you can go up to 2,000 words to explore your topic in full.

    Pitches
    If you’re not ready to send a full draft, you can pitch an idea instead. Keep it short and clear — a couple of sentences explaining your angle is perfect. We’ll let you know if it fits and offer feedback if needed.

    Formatting & Submission

    • Please submit your piece as a Google Doc or Word Document

    • Include a working title and a 1–2 sentence summary

    • Add a short bio and any socials or links you’d like included

    • Email everything to svzsubmissions@gmail.com

    We aim to reply within 7–10 days. As SavZr0 is a solo-run indie website, there is currently no payment available, but every piece is edited with care and shared across our platforms.

    Image Guidelines
    If you’re submitting screenshots or images with your piece:

    • Keep file sizes small where possible

    • Only submit images that are either your own, public domain, or properly credited
