Call for Submissions!
We would love to see your writing, your poetry, your short stories, your prose, your personal essays, your non-fiction pieces, your blackout poetry, your art, and your photography! We are looking for work surrounding identity and empowerment. Some topics include but are not limited to:
Experiences with forms of oppression (misogyny, racism and colonialism, classism, ableism, transphobia/homophobia, whorephobia, etc.)
Queer identity and LGBTQ+ experiences
Abuse, trauma, and the stages afterwards
Mental health
Radical self-love
Childhood and adolescence
Introspection
Anything that you feel empowers you—who are we to say what can or cannot be empowering?
