BAIT is a termly zine created by students in Cambridge, but open to anyone based in the city (or around the world!). It’s a welcoming creative space to discuss important social issues alongside personal experiences, inspirations and doodles, all focused on the issue’s theme (which has been anything from Memory to S*x to the Internet).

There’s no one kind of submission we look for – we’ve published doodles on sheet music, textile pieces, nonsense poetry, absurd stories, manifestos, Wuthering Heights adaptations, mixtape reviews, comics, oil paintings, opinion pieces, sketches of chairs, collages, knotty Finnegan’s Wake-esque prose, translations of opera arias, essays on occupations and more. All profits from the magazine go to charitable foundations that support issues close to our hearts. We’ve raised money for a fundraiser for glioblastoma care on the NHS, Jimmy’s Cambridge, SolidariTee and the Whitworth Trust.

For every issue, we host a launch party (this album has some jazzy pics from the latest one!) where you can read the zine for the first time, get creative with felt tips, listen to some brilliant live music and DJing, and chat to some of the artiest people in Cambridge (or so we say…).

Though the zine’s grown a lot since it started back in summer 2017, we aim to make it as transparent and accessible as possible, and we’d love for you to get involved! The best way to keep up to date is to like the page, join our Facebook submitters’ group, and follow us on Instagram. Anyone and everyone can submit work (which is all anonymised before we read it), and apply to join the team when we recruit – head over to our snazzy new website to find out more!
