Call for Submissions
We are seeking stories that illuminate something about the experience
of being
bi. Stories can focus on relationships, romance, dating and sex, of
course, but
we’d like to see more than that. We’d like to see stories about
relationships
with parents, relatives or children. Passover Seder anyone? We’d like
a bi
military story, a bi same-sex marriage story, a senior citizen story, a
job
discrimination or acceptance story, a story about a bisexual pet from
the pet’s
point of view. We want to see bi athletes, bi cowboys, bi
action-heroes, spies,
super-heroes and vampires. Bi friends go to a movie, bump into their
exes who
dumped them, and hold hands; pretending to be on a date.
All genres such as fantasy, science-fiction, romance, historical,
mystery,
western, vampires, etc. as well as contemporary fiction are encouraged.
Sex
scenes in the context of a story are fine but this is literary fiction:
erotica
not accepted.
