Seeking short works: Book-length collection of transgender literary fiction
Topside Press seeks short literary fiction for its debut title, to be published in late 2011. The collection will feature work by transgender authors and/or work featuring transgender protagonists. While there is no strict theme, the goal of this collection is to showcase fiction by and about transgender people and culture. The book hopes to reflect the diversity of trans experience; all people are encouraged to participate.
Length: Manuscripts should be fewer than 10,000 words and previously unpublished. Non-English work will be considered if submitted with translation.
Payment: In line with industry standards, to be discussed. Plus, two copies of the completed book.
