About

Co-curated with Get YA Words Out, and edited by Seth Malacari, Fremantle Press is seeking stories from the LGBTIQA+ community for an anthology of YA literature, An Unexpected Party, to be published in 2023. This is a chance for around 20 new and emerging LGBTIQA+ writers, who have not yet had a full-length book traditionally published, to share their work. We are particularly interested in encouraging submissions from writers who identify with the ‘TIQA+’ end of the acronym (trans, intersex, queer, asexual, aromantic and other identities not represented), plus intersectional stories from the BIPOC and CALD communities.
