I should do an intro post. Hello! I’m Frederick A. Zaberisk, and I have two MM novels I’m working on that are slated to release next year! Aside from just an author I’m also an avid MM reader, and my favorite series is Case File Compendium! I look forward to making more author/reader friends!

🌈 Hey Rainbow Readers! We are hosting open submissions for our Spring Anthology and the submission period is open from now until July 31st! 🧵
A graphic with a white brick background and a thin golden frame. At the top it says “Rainbow Crate” with a pastel rainbow in between the words. Below this is black text which says “Spring Anthology Submissions Open Until July 31st!” in all caps. In the middle of the graphic is a 3D mockup of A Queer & Cozy Winter Anthology with the front cover and edges displayed. There is a shadow below the mockup. At the bottom of the graphic there is smaller black text which reads “Pictured above is our Winter anthology. Our Spring anthology will match in style, but with spring imagery”.

Putting together a new project! Masc Anthology. Please share around. 🤙😎 #poetry #writing #cnf #writingcommunity
A call for submissions to the Who's the King?: Men, Manhood, and Masc Anthology. Who's the king? How does being the king, or the expectation thereof, impact our mental and social well-being? Defining "king" broadly as someone who expresses themselves in a masculine way regardless of gender identity, Who's the King?: Men, Manhood, and Masc Anthology seeks to explore and express the interconnected challenges which now impact our public and private lives. Now accepting poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art. Submissions open from July 5th, 2025 to December 1st, 2025. Email submissions to kingsanthology at gmail dot com. Email Subject Example: Poetry Submission Submissions open for print anthology. Works of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art are welcome. Poetry: Up to 5 pieces. Prose: Up to 5k words. Visual Art: Show me what you got. Formatting: Be reasonable. Simultaneous submissions are accepted. Please let me know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere. Previously published work may be considered if author retains the rights, but please include acknowledgements. No Al-generated work. I cannot compensate contributors at this stage. Now accepting Poetry, Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, and Visual Art for print anthology. About the Editor. Find him at scarletwitchy.bsky.social. Stephen Yuffrida Brown (he/him) is a writer-activist with a Philly attitude and a background in LGBT+ studies. He is dedicated to the belief that art shapes ideology and that education is crucial for achieving social justice and social mobility. Former Managing Editor and Fiction Editor of Rathalla Review, Stephen's poetry and prose have appeared in various literary journals and anthologies, mostly queer ones. He is the author of two multi-genre chapbooks, A Portrait of Brotherhood as Two Boys from Space (2025) and His Boyfriend Materials (2024), both of which are available from Bottlecap Press.

TIGER KING, but make it queer, filled with feminine rage, and condemning true crime culture 💅

Sarah escaped a cult that sacrificed tigers for eternal life, but when a film crew offers cash for her story, she must decide: expose the truth or protect her family's fragile peace? #2025Pit #A #H #T

Stunning reaction to my new #StarterPack But still lots of space left. Just ask if you'd like to be included. Otherwise, please help out these fine writers by liking and circulating widely. And they're all terrific and well worth following #booksky #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #writers #agents

ELIZA'S WORLD is a Queer breakup novel wrapped in a modern fantasy about having your suspicions that the world is more bizarre than it appears violently & hilariously confirmed. Combines my love of Nancy Meyers & David Lynch with the tone of popular Queer fantasy like Gideon the Ninth. #2025pit
