Ultra Violet writers can come from anywhere and be anything. As long as you’re saying something interesting and useful for feminists in the country, we’d be happy to post it as a guest contribution.
Currently, you can contribute:
- personal essays
- non-fiction essays
- reviews of feminist art, books, movies, plays etc
- reviews of mainstream art, books, movies, plays etc from a feminist POV
- commentary on media
- interviews with eminent feminists
The above types of submissions will be edited for coherence and grammar, if necessary.
We’re also open to featuring original feminist art under these heads:
- poetry
- short fiction (under 2000 words)
- drawings and paintings (scanned)
- photographs
Art works will not be edited. Whatever the form, the content must be relevant to the lives of women.
Previously published works are welcome as long as you hold the copyright.
At this point, Ultra Violet has no funds and no earnings. All the writing, editing, design and coding is done on a voluntary basis. So unfortunately, no payment.
Send pitches or submissions to editor[at]ultraviolet.in

love your blog and will blogroll it to mine….
I have been to India (Tamil Nadu) three times to study yoga, and I love it. I consider TN to be my second home. but the way women are treated gives me pause, to say the least.
I was in india this year and read and saw the news reports of the women were mauled on new years eve in mumbai and elsewhere. I read comments from indian men about how foreign women should “behave” in india. the blame the victim mentality is very prevalent in india.
Love your Blog
I’m a teenage Indian feminist and I just started a blog http://musingsofateenagefeminist.blogspot.com/
Could you possibly help me and tell me what I can do to make my blog better and get more people to read it?
Thanks!
