This is a speculative fiction magazine and they are currently open for nonfiction / essay submissions only; all other genres are closed. “As with original fiction and poetry, we are only looking for submissions from 2SLGBTQIA+ authors.” “We are looking for submissions that teach us something new, show us something surprising, or move us. Right now, we are particularly interested in: investigations of queer history, especially literary history or lesser-known aspects of queer history; essays that shine a light on “forgotten” queer speculative works or authors; thoughtful media criticism of all kinds; personal essays, memoir, and genre-blurring creative nonfiction; and non-US perspectives. We always like incisive literary criticism and essays that examine the intersection(s) of speculative fiction and queer identity. We aren’t looking for reviews at this time.” They pay $100 for essays up to 4,000 words (prefer up to 2,000 words). They are open for nonfiction year-round, and for fiction and other genres during specific submission windows; they’ll open July 1-7 only for trans, BIPOC, and/or disabled 2SLGBTQIA+ authors, and will open July 8-21 for general 2SLGBTQIA+ submissions.
