Tips From the Editor
We look for work that addresses issues of significance to women's lives and movements for women's equality and is especially interested in pieces that explore issues of race, class, and sexuality in relation to gender.
Be sure your work has an intersectional feminist angle—we want work that is about your own experiences that you can speak to, and we want to hear your unique perspective as an intersectional feminist. We also appreciate breaking boundaries and formally bold angles, but will also consider more traditional formats as well. Remember that we want to amplify voices that not only demonstrate a unique feminist perspective but voices that also display deftness in craft.
