Queer & LGBTIA+ African Creative Writing 2 / Appel à contributions - Créations littéraires Queer et LGBTIA + Africaines
Call for Contributions
Deadline for Submissions: January 31, 2017
In February 2013, Q-zine made pan-African LGBTIA+ literature visible for the first time by publishing our pioneering anthology of queer creative writing from around the continent and the Diaspora. We showcased the work of some brilliant young queer creative writers and made our mark on the emerging African LGBTIA+ literary scene. Since then, several similar collections have followed from other publishers, and African LGBTIA+ creative writing can now be said to have “arrived.”
Now with Emergence, a two-volume women’s artistic journal by HOLAAfrica in collaboration with Q-zine (Issues 11 and 12), we are the first to publish a collection of creative writing by African queer women.
It’s amazing to see, across the Internet and in various print publications, the vibrancy of the creative energy of queer and LGBTIA+ Africans. We are proud to have contributed to that.
Q-zine’s creative writing issue was our most popular publication to date, so we are delighted to now announce a follow-up issue as part of our plan to make African LGBTIA+ creative writing one of our regular themes!
For our June 2017 issue, we are calling again on queer creative writers based in Africa or the Diaspora to contribute short stories, poetry, cartoon strips, memoirs, photo-essays, personal essays and excerpts from novels, graphic novels, plays, and screenplays. Interviews and profiles of queer and LGBTIA+ authors and short reviews of queer writing are also welcome.
As the only magazine of pan-African queer arts and culture, Q-zine remains committed to the goal of providing an inspiring and creative outlet for LGBTIA+ Africans to celebrate, debate, and explore the creativity and cultural richness of queer life in Africa.
Please send us your original, previously unpublished work in either English or French to mariam@qayn.org and mkonommoja@gmail.com
