We are interested in finding contributing writers or artists, either for a repeating column and/comic or just for single submissions. You don’t have to be a pro writer or artist (we certainly aren’t); you simply have to be interested in queer issues and willing to create content. We’re not looking for resumes or references, simply send us an original article that you have written to genderpanic (at) gmail.com, and we will review and let you know if it’s something we want to publish.
There aren’t any super strict guidelines but it must be 1) well written and/or well-drawn 2) relevant to the LGBTQQIAA (etc) community, and 3) queer positive. We reserve the right to edit articles for language errors and for formatting purposes (though we will get your approval of changes before publishing) and to only publish articles/content that we deem appropriate.
Here are some suggestions of types of material you could contribute:
* reviews of queer movies, musicians/music, books and other media
* an analysis of a current social or political trend that affects queer people
* original comics related to queer issues
* mini biographies about queer artists, musicians, activists, etc
* “101″ style guides to topics such as queer terminology, different genders, etc
* anything else awesome and queer!
Here are some subjects that we would like to cover more on our website:
* web resources for all queer related topics
* suicide prevention resources
* the intersex community
* asexuality
* queer fashion
* anything else awesome and queer!
What’s in it for you? The joy of writing something neat and being published on a queer website! No financial compensation, sorry (we don’t make any money on this website). Published authors are welcome to include us on their resumes and to use us as references if needed. E-mail genderpanic@gmail.com
