About

Fantabulosa! will be a quarterly literary magazine, showcasing tales of the uncanny, the dangerous and the fantastical, from radical and unapologetic queer voices.
With a mix of prose, poetry, non-fiction, and art, Fantabulosa! will seek to push the boundaries of bold, authentic, original, queer storytelling.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to people who identify as part of the queer community; additional restrictions may apply during some submission periods.
