Since its conception, TRANSOM has included poems alongside poet interviews that dig deeper into an examination of poetry as it lives, in the world between poets and readers. TRANSOM is a poetry journal that continues in that tradition, inviting not only poetry but lived and living experience. 

A transom is the bar of wood that separates a door from the window above it. What comes over the transom is lobbed, has grace, arcs in. 

TRANSOM is expansive. We encourage a wide definition of poetry.

Echo Shawn Corby

I have been writing for a while, mainly focused on the creation of a series of novels involving a high fantasy setting hidden from our regular human world. I was inspired to write when I was 14 years old and I couldn't make my knock-off Monster High animation project come to life because I was too dumb to download a software and learn to animate. 

I am an intermediate level writer who is in the middle of several projects as of now. I have not been published due to my desire to perfect my main novel before submission but I am also endeavoring with a book of poetry about my experience as a trans masc, nonbinary, pansexual person and a nonlinear novel starring an LGBTQ+ romance.

I am hoping to find writing buddies that are willing to read and critique my cute, slightly-campy story about some shapeshifter/werewolf people's hijinks as well as my other side projects. I want to exchange critiques to both practice editing as a career and to read other people's stories and see their potential. I am hoping to get my work developmentally critiqued so I can finally publish the first book in a long-anticipated series!

Hi all,

My name is Brittani Ann and I play in a few different genres, mainly poetry and creative non-fiction. I have a minor in poetry and have been writing on my own since I was young but I am now looking to get a bit more serious with my work as well as engage and share with other writers. I am craving the community of those who are looking to critique, workshop, encourage, discuss and learn from one another.

The Q&A Queer Zine is a small zine staffed by lgbtq+ writers and visual artists.

The need for community, support, and belonging brought this group together to ask fundamental questions about their place in the writing world and in history. The Q&A Queer Zine was the answer.
