Call for Submissions from LGBTQIA+ Writers on Theme of "Drag": Just Femme & Dandy

We are currently taking submissions for our 7th issue! The theme is DRAG. Our definition of drag is expansive, and we invite you to consider how drag as the performance of gender shows up in your lives. We want to hear about how/when/where gender is performed, the day to day lives behind the makeup, the politics of gender and normativity, different forms of drag, how this all coincides with fashion and dress. While we would love to hear from up and coming drag artists and independent fashion designers, this theme is for everyone, not just drag artists and enthusiasts. If you have something to say about gendered performance, we want to hear it! You are welcome to send us submissions outside of the theme, but submissions that relate to the theme are highly encouraged. We accept anything that can be displayed on a website: poetry, fiction, nonfiction, tutorial, illustration, comix, photography, painting, video, drag, costume/fashion designs, hot takes, interviews, and so on!

We pay 50 USD per text-based submission and up to 150 USD (note, this is a change from previous issues) per multimedia submission (video, photography, image + text, fashion spread + interview, etc.), determined by the editor who accepts the piece for publication. We pay using Venmo or PayPal and we are unable to work with any other payment services.

SUBMISSIONS WILL BE OPEN FROM June 3, 2024 - August 5, 2024. Please only submit ONE submission. Pitches that don’t fall under any specific category (or multiple categories) can be sent to:

info@justfemmeanddandy.com

but please do take some time to consider which section it most applies.
