--Do you have something to say about being bisexual?
--Do you have a story about coming out as bi?
--Do you feel you could identify as bisexual but choose not to?
--Do you find connections (or conflicts) between your bisexuality and
other parts of your identity or life?
--Do you have something to say about desire? About relationships? About
religion? About community? About politics? About the position of
bisexuals in the place or community you call home?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, we want to publish
you!
We seek short personal essays or poems (200-1000 words) by bisexuals
from Central or South America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia,
or
Africa. We seek Muslim voices from anywhere in the world.
If you don't want your name in print, you can write under a pseudonym.
If you think you're not a "real" writer and would like to be included
in
this anthology, we want you. If you're not comfortable writing, we can
interview you. If you are not comfortable writing in English, write in
your native language and we will translate your essay.
Essays will be published in the second edition of Getting Bi: Voices of
Bisexuals Around the World. The new anthology will be published in
2009,
in dual editions (English and Spanish).
The first (2005) edition includes personal narratives by people from 32
different countries, on 6 continents, ranging in age from 15-79. Please
help us make this amazing collection even broader in scope!
