Very small, very loud Queer, Trans Press🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hello from @incision_press 💕💕💕 It’s a tricky time right now, hey? We’re seeing accounts deleted, qu33r creators silenced, communities disappear, algorithms pulling us apart in all directions.

It’s also hard seeing beautiful small presses fall apart (or get even smaller) with less audience reach & diminishing funding sources. Bookshops that we love are running fundraisers. Writers are getting day jobs when once they survived on tiny royalty cheques. The world of small press publishing must find a way to adapt or we will go under.

M3Ta platforms are absolutely unsafe and yet in many cases it’s all we have. A beautiful qu33r business that we love was booted from mailchimp for content violations. Incision Press had a substack but we got some annoying trolls. How can we effectively tell our community what we are doing, and sell our books?

It’s a pretty damn hard time.

But qu33rs are the best at innovation. We know how to pivot, to build underground networks, to hold weird random parties.

Incision Press was never going to be just about books - we were always going to be about community & writers. This humble newsletter signup will be our best way of keeping you in the loop. You’ll hear about our callouts, our creative strange experiments, our face to face events, our retreats. We are trying new things and we want you with us ❤️

Well blow me down - my little chapbook >>glitch<< has progressed in the queue and has made it into the Top 10 shortlist for the International Poetry Book Awards (UK)!

In pondering this year's "extraordinary multiplicity of subjects", judge Dave Lewis observed: "There was so much misery, but also so much joy, and so much freshness". >>glitch<< contains smatterings of all those things and then some 🎭

These poems are situated in this heating, racist, cantankerous world. They are part of it and do not feel pressured to accept it, consistently demanding more. Sometimes softly, sometimes vigorously, and often in the feelings they leave behind.

Join us @underdogbookstore while anthology editors – @bloodinkbonewriting and I – discuss the inspiration behind their collections and the importance of small-press published queer anthologies!

We are celebrating the launch of two queer anthology titles – MONSTERF*CK by @incision_press and BUTCH BAIT!

My piece in the MONSTERF*CK anthology, BEYOND BLACK MIRRORS, is heavily inspired by the hillbilly noir writings of @reddyfiction and is a terrifying, sexy tale of someone obsessed with having their own Appalachian cryptid encounter. But without the safety of the glass separating fantasy from reality, will those plagued by curiosity find pleasure … or pain?

My copy of Monsterf#ck arrived and I’m a little obsessed 😍 it’s so damn pretty, and I’m so proud to be part of it.

My piece, Sanctum, is about the desire to love yourself, demons and all. A love letter to the euphoria of becoming, to finding that holy place within yourself and letting it be seen fully, without shame.

This poem also spilled into art. I’ve included a drawing inspired by Sanctum, a visual embodiment of that transformation and sacred self-recognition.

Thank you to @incision_press for including me in this collection 🖤 I can’t wait for you to experience it.

Beyond Black Mirrors by Des DeVivo is heavily inspired by the hillbilly noir writings of @reddyfiction and is a terrifying, sexy tale of someone obsessed with having their own Appalachian cryptid encounter. But without the safety of the glass separating fantasy from reality, will those plagued by curiosity find pleasure… or pain?

I had the pleasure of narrating this piece back in November as part of #humanvoicesonly and couldn’t stop thinking about how well it lends itself to an audio drama style reimagining. Fortunately, Des was kind enough to let me get a little messy with their work 😈

For more from this author, check out @desdevivo.writes and to read this full story and find even more, head on over to @incision_press for the newly published anthology, MONSTERF*CK
