Call for Submissions - Superqueeroes (tentative title)
Edited by Ellen Tevault
Published by Haworth Press
Submission Deadline: February 1, 2007
Payment: $ 50 and 1 contributor copy
Superheroes are everywhere. Are they among the queer/lgbt
community?
I want to read about original superheroes from all aspects
of the queer community - drag king/queen, MTF, FTM,
transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual, butch, femme, bear,
twink, genderqueer, intersex, etc.
Does your superhero receive superpowers when dressed in
drag or because of the transitioning process? Does your
lesbian character use her powers to fight rapists? Does
your femme get her powers from her nail polish? Does your
twink get his powers from surviving a gay bashing? Does
your bear grow bigger and stronger to fight crime? Is your
heroine a MTF superhero fighting the wimmin only community
for acceptance? Give me humor, give me grit, give me dark -
I’m open to differing moods. (I’m a femme. LOL). They can
fight against the ex-gay movement (superhero rescues a gay
forced into therapy), the Christian right wing anti-gay
movement, gay marriage backlash, rapists, or the evil
villain ridding the world of nail polish. Don’t be afraid
to be humorous or get political, but please do so within a
well-developed superhero story.
Heroes can be any race, nationality, alien, mutant, etc.,
but the superhero MUST be from some aspect of the
queer/lgbt community. I DO NOT WANT FAN FICTION. No blatant
use of trademarked characters or veiled use of them either.
Original characters and plots are necessary.
Guidelines:
1. Stories should be between 1500-6000 words in length.
Email me if your story is longer or shorter.
2. Stories should have fully developed characters and
plots.
3. Stories can be erotic if necessary to the plot, but this
is not an erotica collection.
4. Name, pseudonym if used, address, phone number, word
count, and email should appear on first page.
5. Each page should double-spaced and include your name,
title, and page number.
6. Include short bio (50 words) with story.
7. For previously published stories, you must include
publication history with the story.
Mail stories to: Ellen Tevault, P.O. Box 199032,
Indianapolis, IN 46219. Email me at superqueeroes@yahoo.com
with any questions. DO NOT email stories to the above
address unless requested.
Ellen Tevault has published lesbian stories on various
websites and in Common Lives/Lesbian Lives, Faster Than
Light zine, Early Embraces III, Perfect Valentine, and
After Midnight, including a forthcoming story in Lipstick
on Her Collar. She has also published articles in various
local small publications. Her male pseudonym has published
in Bearotica and Muscle Worshipers. This is her first trip
into editing an anthology, so be patient with her. In turn
she will keep her internal super villain under control.
