Constellations of Becoming Queer Futures and Other Worlds A project of Inkd Publishing (see other related projects). About Constellations of Becoming: Queer Futures and Other Worlds is an anthology of speculative fiction centering queer voices, characters and imaginations. It’s a collection of stories across the speculative spectrum — science fiction, fantasy, horror, magical realism and beyond — that explore imagined worlds, alternate realities, transformative possibilities and the many ways queer lives persist, evolve and dream. Good writing will triumph over concepts too tightly aligned to a perception of the theme. We encourage you to weave the theme into an engaging story with well-developed characters and deep emotion.
