guidelines for submission
the citizen trans* {project} by new words {press} seeks to publish & archive the voices & experiences of trans* writers in this anti-trans, post-election country. we’re sad. we’re angry. we’re disillusioned, tired & betrayed. as writers, it’s our job to write regardless. to shed light, to truth tell, to burn.
the theme is simple: post-election writing. send us your tears, your rage, your hope, your hopelessness. send us your words. there is no voting process. if it’s on theme, we publish it online. Nothing is off limits expect hate speech (decided on a case by case basis).
we will be adding work to the website weekly
- one piece of work per person
- accepting poetry, art, or short prose (prose can be no more than 500 words) that matches the theme. prose can be short-fiction or nonfiction, journal entry, essay, spell. whatever, as long as it’s on topic & 500 words or less.
