Call for Submissions on Queer-Themed Issue: Room

Room magazine invites women and genderqueer folks who identify as part of the LGBTTQIA+ spectrum to submit their best poetry, fiction, CNF, and art to our first queer-themed issue. We especially encourage submissions from writers affected by multiple intersections of oppression, such as racism, classism, ableism, fatphobia, ageism, and transphobia.

This issue is a celebration of emerging and established queer writers and artists; the creative work itself does not have to be queer in focus. Do you want to queer genre? Create a poem about the corporatization of Pride? Or just write microfiction on the minutiae of daily living? All types of submissions are welcome.

New work by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha will also be featured in this issue.

Edited by Leah Golob, and assistant edited by Arielle Spence and Rebecca Russell.

Before submitting, please read our About section to see if your work fits within Room's mandate, then refer to the Submission Guidelines on how to format your work. In Submittable, please tick the box at the bottom of the form so we know you are submitting work specifically for the Queer issue.

Payment: $50-150 CAD

Submissions are accepted from November 1, 2017 to January 31, 2018.
