About

Renard Press x t’ART Press are really excited to invite submissions from Queer and Trans writers for our open call for a new anthology responding to the theme Chosen.
We cannot choose our sexuality. We cannot choose our gender. We cannot choose what they say about us on the news.
But if we could, wouldn’t we choose our Queerness, our Transness, again and again?
Tell us stories of chosen families, Queer choice, Trans imagination. Offer us poems hand-forged by your fingers, each word a choice, each line break a decision. Explore the choices made for us, and the ones that are all our own, the lives and loves we determine queerly for ourselves.
We are open to what this theme prompts for you and excited to see how you approach it.
Choose your words wisely. We look forward to spending time with them.
Thank you for trusting us with your work.
