Do you want to contribute to lstw? We are currently accepting submissions for our third issue!
We are looking for queer female and non-binary writers, illustrators and photographers, and will be paying an honorarium of $100 per article or artwork. Articles will range in length between 500 and 2,000 words.
Art and edit highlights from past issues of lstw include a cover profile of Tegan and Sara, an illustration by graphic novelist Julie Maroh (Blue is the Warmest Colour), a look at how craft breweries are queering beer, an investigation of police response to homophobic crimes, a photo essay of LGBTQ+ workspaces, a memoir about coming out as trans at the age of 54, an essay about the legacy of pride in Inuit communities, a fashion editorial built around hats, and a Q&A with former Icelandic Prime Minister Jóhanna Sigurdardóttir.
In short, we’re committed to telling a variety of stories—so be bold!
Please send a sentence or two about yourself, as well as a short paragraph outlining your story idea and potential sources (if you’re an edit person) or a series of images or a URL to a portfolio website (if you’re an art person), to editorial@lezspreadtheword.com.
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, May 23, 2018.
