🏳️🌈 SUBMISSION CALL – WE ARE THE STORY 🏳️🌈
LGBTQIA+ A Collection of Truth, Fiction, or Anything in Between
We are the story.
Our lives, our love, our joy, our rage—real or reimagined, whispered or shouted—we exist in every line.
This Pride Season, we invite LGBTQIA+ creators to submit short stories, poetry, essays, and hybrid works that celebrate, confront, explore, or reclaim what it means to live authentically. Whether grounded in truth, woven from fiction, or dancing somewhere in between, your voice belongs in this collection.
