General submission guidelines
We read submissions on a rolling basis. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please let us know right away if your piece is accepted elsewhere. We prefer work that has not been printed elsewhere, but we will consider an exceptional fit for a reprint.
We are not a paying journal at this point, though that may change in the future. We believe that artists deserve to be compensated, as do editors, but right now this journal is a labor of love for everyone involved.
All content must be about queer sex, sexuality, sensuality, and/or gender; everyone involved (literally or figuratively) must be of legal age and consenting, and no hate speech of any sort will be tolerated.
We are seeking work that moves outside the box to represent the myriad ways people experience embodiment, passion, sensuality and hedonistic joy. Priority will be given to trans, gender queer/expansive, Black, Indigenous and other people of color, disabled, fat, mad and all artists living at the intersections of historically marginalized identities.
Submissions must be sent via our online form:
You can expect to hear back from us within 2-3 months. As a small team of volunteers with full time work and lives, we ask for your patience and we will respond to every submission. If you don’t hear back within 2 months, we welcome an inquiry through our website, but DO NOT contact editors through their personal social media accounts or emails.
