PFN – Call for Submissions to Rough Cut Press. Theme: “Withhold”

November 27, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Submit Your Work

We seek experimental work of all genres by writers from the LGBTQIA community. We do not define or gatekeep what it means to be a queer writer: if you think your work belongs here, then it belongs here. To get a sense of what we publish please read some of our former issues. We don’t know what we like until we see it. Each month we announce a different theme, but don’t worry if the work you submit doesn’t quite fit: we often build issues and themes around work that takes us by surprise.

We seek personal, political, precise, raw, lyrical, critical, and experimental work; the stuff only you can write. Our readers are interested in interrogating systematic inequality, sex, sexuality, gender, phobias, what it means to be an activist, and what it means to create magic. We’re here to build a platform for a multiplicity of voices to converge, and to compensate all contributing artists from day one.

Simultaneous submissions are encouraged; we ask that you notify us if your work is accepted elsewhere. Written submissions are limited to 650 words. Please leave your name off of the submission itself and send one piece per submission, in PDF format. We do not charge a submission fee or a subscription fee; we offer all published artists a $25 honorarium as compensation.
