Everything I Have Is Blue was more than a book.
It was an opportunity to use creative writing to build connections among working-class queers across race, gender, and region.
We are not alone, and we are not silent.
Still Blue: More Writing by (for or about) Working-Class Queers continues what Everything I Have Is Blue started. It is a showcase for our imaginative writing: short fiction, memoir, poems, performance pieces, work that doesn’t fit the categories. If it illuminates our realities, our struggles, our resistance to assimilation and mental gentrification, and if it’s well written, I’ll consider it respectfully. (Previously published work, as long as you hold the copyright, may also be submitted.)
Working-class writing by women, men (past, present, or future), and all other genders is welcome.
There are no limits regarding subject matter or form except for the following: Please do not submit erotica. (Writing that is sexually explicit is certainly acceptable; writing whose chief purpose is to function as “erotica” is not). Poetry will be considered for the Still Blue Project blog only.
Submit your writing to me as a email attachment formatted in Word. Include a short biography. The online project “Still Blue: More Writing By (For or About) Working-Class Queers” is ongoing, and your work may be considered for those pages as well.
