Our Sister Ariel is Looking for Portland Queer Experience Anthology Submissions....

Greetings--

I'm writing because I know that if you're not demographically inclined
to contribute a story to the book I'm working on, then you probably
know someone who is.

It's a PORTLAND QUEER collection -- true tales and fictions of queer
life in Portland, Oregon.

Please submit or spread the word!

This is going to be a delicious book that includes stories by Marc
Acito, Tom Spanbauer, Sarah Dougher, Nicole J. Georges, Dexter Flowers and
many others.

And I'm looking for more first-person literary narratives showcasing
the diversity, hilarity, and talent of emerging and established Portland
writers. Stories can be fiction or nonfiction, but should have a clear
Portland connection.

I'm looking for:
Experimental and traditional short stories / short memoirs featuring
queer characters
Character-driven literary narratives
Stories that mention specific Portland neighborhoods, landmarks,
haunts, or nearby destinations
Some comics/ fine arts/ illustrations/ graphic stories
Up to 5,000 words (shorter pieces welcome)

I'm not looking for:
Opinion essays on what it's like to be queer in Portland
How-to or travel pieces
And I'm not looking for trouble! Please be prepared to change the names
of the guilty.

Send submissions / questions to
