Please consider contributing to the Unfettered Hexes Kickstarter, an anthology that Neon Hemlock is putting together. The subject: queer witches! I already have a killer idea….
Unfettered Hexes: Queer Tales of Insatiable Darkness will be a speculative anthology telling stories about queer witches, the knife edge between the sacred and the profane, and infinite darkness.
I will be co-editing Baffling Magazine, a new flash fiction venue that specializes in Weird Fiction with a queer bent, alongside dave ring, who runs the Neon Hemlock micropress. (“Weird Fiction” isn’t strictly Lovecraftian/cosmic horror here; it includes the new fabulism of Kelly Link and Jeffrey Ford).
A submission announcement will go up soon. In the meantime, you can check out the mostly skeletal website here.
Speaking of Neon Hemlock, they are also running a chapbook contest (poetry/fiction/nonfiction categories) for the OutWrite Literary Festival, which happens every summer. It is only opened to writers in the DVM (District-Virginia-Maryland) area and has some awesome judges.
DC area folks — I will be reading with a bunch of other authors (Nino Cipri, Marianne Kirby, Nibedita Sen, dave ring, and Jay Wolf) at the DIY Performance Space RhizomeDC!
