Had a book published before mid-2021? Take 5 minutes to see if it's listed here and if so another 5 to enter info. And look up your grandma's book, the book of your friend, etc. and let them know

We're still trying to raise $246 this year to cover expenses, if you're feeling generous.

We'll never charge a submission fee, and we pay our writers.

Your help will also ensure that we can bring on a guest editor in the new year, to avoid that whole 'monolithic voice' business 💛🖤

Thank you. 🐝
Happy non-binary day and week!

We're a small mag publishing non-binary, genderqueer, and two-spirit writers.

If you'd like to help us out, we're currently working towards our goal for paying writers for this and next year.

Shares are very much appreciated, too!

Read my little story online here!

I'm still so happy this found such a perfect home. One of the few stories that I wrote without prompts and/or a deadline, just a growing appreciation of nature coupled with a growing heartbreak over how we treat it. Go hug a tree today 💚
New issue alert! It has multiple sets of wings and eyes and creepy crawlies. Just in time for fall.

If you could paint the Mona Lisa a new smile, what would it look like? Thanks to Leo Covault, you've got options. We're obsessed with his paper doll illustrations for our latest issue, feat. CNF by Max Fischer.

Shoutout to our friend Garrick for giving in to the impulse to assemble this one. 💌
