2025 Summer Edition Queer Joy
The idea of queer joy is different for everyone, some might see it as a fulfilling feeling of unapologetic self-expression, some might consider it the the feeling of being embraced by a community, others may have a more detailed real-life conception of it. Right off the top of my head, queer joy can be the pride and exhilaration of putting on a rainbow pin on every morning, or dressing in a flamingo colored dress to visit Seven-Eleven on a hailstorm day.
For our summer edition, Queer Joy would be our topic. There is no big or small, every piece of queer joy is significant and valuable, and it makes us more than happy to hear about your idea or story. We encourage you to send us any form of creative or nonfiction writing through our link.
Any form of fiction, poetry, essay or prose is welcomed. If you chose to send us poetry, it is recommended that you send us three to six poems in a single file.
However, if you simply feel like sharing a couple of sentences about queer joy, then you are also more than welcomed, we might also be able to include you in our summer edition.
You CAN submit multiple pieces of work, and we ACCEPT simultaneous submissions.
Your words and visuals matter. If your work is selected for publication, we offer $5–$20 per written piece, and $10 for each chosen cover artwork. It’s a small thank-you for the beauty you share with the world
The deadline for our Summer Edition is July 5th. Please note that we do not accept any late submissions.
