CALLING ALL WRITERS!
Added 2024-03-06 13:06:57 +0000 UTCASWT will shortly be launching their official website which will act as a community centre for everything we are about!
Included in this space will be our very own blog centre and we want to hear from you! Along with blogs from us, we want to host guest blogs from our members. Your content will be shared on our little corner of the internet and of course be fully credited. We want this to be a space where everyone can share their voices and stories! Whether it’s an opinion piece, a review, a work of fiction or a personal story, we want to hear it. Our goal is to celebrate our queer writers!
While we will have to review each submission to make sure it’s not too profane or inappropriate to go online, we cannot stress enough how important it is for us to hear everything you have to say, so don’t hold back! Our community is built on the honesty of self expression and that’s what makes it beautiful to see… and read!
If this sounds of interest to you and you would like your blog to be featured in our site, please submit submissions to our email address: info.aswt@gmail.com and we will be sure to get back to you asap
First pieces are due to go live in the next couple of weeks. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask
Blogs will remain active on the website for as long as writers are happy to have them there so there is no pressure or obligation. All we ask is that they are not too long and all proofing has been done before submission.
We cannot wait to hear and share your stories!
Love
Alex and Josh

Allies have a voice too! In fact there’s a whole story there just waiting to be heard so don’t count yourselves out just yet! 😘
A Story Worth Telling
2024-03-06 18:34:54 +0000 UTCThe same with me. I also think it is a great initiative, and I love to write sometimes(haven't really had anything published yet), but I'm just an aly, so I'll let others have a go at this.

2024-03-06 18:18:50 +0000 UTCI really love this idea, I’d love to Contribute but I wouldn’t know what to write for it. If I have an idea, I’ll be sure to contact you.

2024-03-06 17:51:18 +0000 UTCAn amazing idea, I'd be really interested to hear stories from others. Especially anyone who wants to share about the impact activism has had on their lives, (such as people who married after long-awaited law changes).

2024-03-06 13:17:52 +0000 UTCOh just to clarify I'm the author, I just mean is it okay if it's been published online before!

2024-03-06 13:17:05 +0000 UTCWhile I won't be able to submit anything myself as I only fall into the 'writer' part and not the 'queer' part, I just wanted to say what a wonderful idea I think this is! ♥️ I love the idea of a place where people can share their work and also appreciate the work of others, especially from a community that doesnt always get the love it deserves. Well done ASWT for always finding more ways to bring people together 👏👏👏

2024-03-06 13:12:35 +0000 UTCLove this! Just to check, are you looking for original content only or would you accept something that's been published elsewhere? I wrote a piece for my Substack newsletter that I'd love to share with the ASWT community as well but it is already online!
