“For our first-ever full-length fiction prize, Abode Press is looking to acquire fiction short story collections or novels written by people of color who are queer and/or trans. We want work that is voice-driven, sparks social change, reminds us of home, and defies genre. We are especially interested in works that are haunting, that have a strong sense of place, that are queer, radical, and genre-defiant.” Writers must be Queer / trans and live in the US. Send a sample of up to 50 pages from your manuscript. 
Value: $1,000 and publication
Deadline: 31 May 2026 
Open for: Queer / trans writers in the US
