Call for Submissions
PORTLAND QUEER
A New Anthology Edited by Ariel Gore
Greetings Portland Queers!
I'm looking for first-person literary narratives by queer-identified Portland writers for a new anthology showcasing the diversity, hilarity, and talent of emerging and established local writers. Stories can be fiction or nonfiction, but should have a clear Portland connection.
I'm looking for:
- Experimental and traditional short stories / short memoirs featuring queer characters
- Character-driven literary narratives
- Stories that mention specific Portland neighborhoods, landmarks, haunts, or nearby destinations
- Up to 5,000 words (shorter pieces welcome)
I'm not looking for:
- Opinion essays on what it's like to be queer in Portland
- Erotica (sex isn't taboo-- I just don't want it to be "the point")
- How-to or travel pieces
- And I'm not looking for trouble! Please be prepared to change the names of the guilty.
