Brave Boy World: a Transman Anthology

A project of Pink Narcissus Press (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (December 2016). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

We are currently seeking stories for a new anthology. Stories must fall into the category of science fiction (hard or soft), and must feature a transgender male protagonist. Given the nature of speculative fiction, however, we are willing to consider stories that feature non-binary, intersex or genderfluid characters, but for this project, any non-binary character should either identify strongly as male, or the story should deal with themes of what it means to be "masculine" or a "man" in terms of the world setting in which the story takes place. We strongly encourage writers who are transgender to submit, however being trans is not a requirement. However, all cisgender writers should be familiar with the trans experience.
