The Project: QueerLit contest celebrates and brings media attention
to unpublished authors of queer writing and opens doors for publication
of their work. The contest is open to any unpublished author of an English-language
novel with queer and/or bent worldview content.
We recruit…and print the best of tomorrow's queer lit.
The third contest (2008) is now closed for submissions.
The fourth contest (2010) will launch in 2009.
Read more about the contest here.
suspect thoughts: a journal of subversive writing
is an online magazine that features exciting alternative
writing and artwork that blurs the lines between genres and isn't afraid
that it might frighten, cause laughter, or confuse, while perhaps arousing
sexual desire.
suspect thoughts: a journal of subversive writing
is currently closed for submissions.
Velvet Mafia
The best gay fiction contains an element of the erotic,
the adventure of sexual conquest, and the mystery of unexplored territory.
Velvet Mafia seeks alternative gay literary fiction and erotica for
future quarterly issues. We want work that dares to step over the line,
fiction with teeth. It can be sensual, dark, sexy, indecent, experimental,
hard or raw, so long as the story makes us sit up and pay attention.
Our best piece of advice, read the current
issue and know your audience. This holds true for any publishing
venture so it is a good thing to remember.
Keep it under 4,000 words, longer work will be accepted, but it better
grab our attention. We prefer short and riveting.
Work must be gay male focused. Does this mean that all the characters
must be gay men? No. Does this mean that the author must be a gay man?
No. Does this mean we will publish fiction by women? Yes, as long as
the story is focused on a gay man.
We request Electronic Serial Rights, which allows you to republish your
work after the three-month run of the issue. We will maintain your work
in our archive for the run of the site.
Compensation? Not yet, but we're working on it. Right now we can offer
banner space to advertise your site and offer global exposure for your
work.
Send work as the body of an email or as a Microsoft Word or Rich Text
File (RTF) attachment. Make sure to include your name, an email address
where you can be contacted, your mailing address and a short bio.
Email submissions to Editor Sean
Meriwether.
