Transgender Literary Press Seeks Submissions for Debut Anthology
http://glaadblog.org/2011/06/02/transgender-literary-press-seeks-submissions-for-debut-anthology/Topside Press is making a call for submissions for a short-story collection that will highlight transgender authors and/or work featuring transgender protagonists, to be released later this year. The book hopes to reflect various degrees of trans experience, and all people are encouraged to participate.
"While there is no strict theme, the goal of this collection is to showcase fiction by and about transgender people and culture," according to the Topside Press website. The project aims to emphasize authentic trans narratives "that avoid tropes and portrayals that are common to literature about transgender people, who are often included in books or movies only as victims or perpetrators and not as whole characters," the official press release adds.
