BLOGGERS: OP is currently accepting writing samples from people who would like to be considered for the next round of OP bloggers. If you are interested in being a featured OP blogger, please send us an email with a writing sample, a few lines about yourself, and a pitch of what you’d like to share with OP’s online community. (Reviews? Personal “Dear Diary” blogs?  Covering community events?)

**All submitted pieces that follow the above guideline will be reviewed. Due to extreme amounts of entries and limited space in the magazine only a few slots are available, but you may be asked to have your piece featured on Original Plumbing’s website. We thank you in advance for your submission and time!

***Please note that we can not currently pay contributors for their work. As a community-based magazine that is designed to feature and create visibility for trans guys by trans guys, this project is completely a labor of love. Everyone involved is volunteer-based. All authors will receive one copy of OP in which they were published, and retain full ownership of their work.
