fifth wheel press blog: Interviews Gold Star Program Gold Star Free Tip Jar Option

From Interviews Editor sterling-elizabeth arcadia:

I want to interview and read pitches for interviews with both emerging and established queer, trans, and gender variant writers with forthcoming or recently published books or chapbooks (no longer than four months ago, please). While I am particularly interested in poetry, a little prose never hurts! I would especially love interviews with folks whose books engage with lived transness, disability, madness, and other forms of marginalization and oppression. My aesthetic tastes vary but I particularly welcome the experimental. Show me a book that plays with genre, form, and language. Pitch me an interview between two rivals. Between two lovers. I aim to publish a minimum of six interviews a year.

The nitty gritty: As fifth wheel press is focused on queer, trans, and gender variant writers, please only pitch interviews in which both interviewer and interviewee are within these communities. To pitch an interview, send bios for you and your interviewee, as well as a synopsis of the work and a sentence or two on what you'd like to speak to them about. Alternatively, feel free to send completed interviews for consideration. If you are a writer with a recent or forthcoming book who is trans or falls under the trans umbrella, feel free to send a synopsis, bio, and review copy of your book in a printable format for me to consider for an ongoing series of interviews with trans writers. All interview pitches will receive a reply; authors sending review copies will hear from me if I'm interested in proceeding with an interview.
