Wanted: a Few Trans Heroes & Heroines
http://www.queerty.com/wanted-a-few-trans-heroes-heroines-20110509/Hey writers! Noodling around a manuscript with a trans protagonist? Now's your chance to get it read: Topside Press is looking for short stories by and about transgender folks, and they're giving you all summer to polish your prose.
Topside's the only book publisher that focuses specifically on transgender fiction, and is run by Brooklynites Tom Leger and Riley MacLeod. Perhaps you recall their 2003 STAGES Transgender Theatre Festival, or their serial comedic musical play Butch McCloud: Your Friendly Neighborhood Lesbian Superhero, about a gang of lesbian bakers who save the world from the Vulvatronics? That sounds memorable.
