Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Keep it simple, and real! We are not overly concerned with the content of the cover letter, so please feel free to use a template. Just tell us something about yourself and the work that you are submitting.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
Raw, unfiltered language. Don't clean up your work too much, the editors can help with that. First thought best thought, with us. I like to gasp. I like to bite my lip. I like to feel my heart twist. I like to say "yeah, I feel that."
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Just throw us a book. We love first time submitters!
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Anyone who is ready and willing to celebrate the trans or queer body and cognitive passion.
