Submissions

Submissions are currently open for Issue 3, which I expect to publish in the spring or early summer of 2025.

For Issue 3, I’m looking for submissions with a theme of breakdown. A breakdown of definition or of common understanding. Something unconsolidated, (un)interpreted, and unsettled.

If you are trans/queer and have writing or art about place and transness, I want to hear from you! Don’t consider yourself a writer? Don’t think you have something to say? I especially want to feature you!

How to submit?

Please use this google form link

What to submit?

One submission at a time, please. Maximum of 4000 words. Simultaneous submissions are fine, as are reprints.

I encourage you to submit what you are most passionate about, whatever you feel called/compelled to share. Any form, any genre (anything from a personal essay to comics to fantasy to photos with captions and beyond). It must be connected in some manner to place and transness, however you interpret that.

Please send me your final drafts. I will provide a round of feedback and edits, and love to help bring something across the line, but this is a one woman operation.

What to avoid?

No AI at all. In any manner.

No manifestos unless they’re really good.

This is not a venue for your personal grudge/vendetta unless it’s really good and I agree with it.

Can non trans people submit?

Yes, but I’m primarily looking to amplify everyday trans life and people, particularly trans women. If you are a cis(ish) person who is culturally trans through relationships, friend groups, etc, and think you have something to contribute, I definitely am interested; it depends on what you send me!

Can I buy this at my local bookstore or borrow it from a library?

Distribution is very much a work in progress. If you know of a bookstore or library that would be interested, please get in touch.
