Limited Demographic: LGBTQ+ authors

We are seeking submissions for a multi-genre anthology titled FERAL, exploring the playful, fearsome, and fertile terrain of what it means to be primal. This collection moves beyond the narrow confines of primal as "hot animalistic sex" to embrace the spiritual, the shapeshifting, and the ecologically entangled.

We are calling in LGBTQ+ voices that engage with:

The Shadow, Shame, and Power — What emerges when we meet the monsters or monstresses within? What does it mean to inhabit the fullness of our power?

Wildness & Biodiversity — Queerness as a natural expression of the untamed, the rhizomatic, the unexpected and abundant.

Liminality & Fluidity — The grey zones, the edge-dwelling; radical resistance and reimagining of liberatory new worlds.

The Bestial & Archetypal — How do we shapeshift, play, and ritualize our return to embodying our animal self?

The Sacred & Magical — Primal as spiritual practice, as ancestral memory, as spellwork.

Eco-eroticism & Intergenerational Wisdom — How does the primal teach us about the desire for aliveness and connection beyond the purely sexual: into the platonic, the collective, the ecological?

spec fic; realism, sci-fi/fantasy, speculative, queer futurist, etc.

This anthology is a home for the generative, the edgy, the fluid, and the fiercely alive. It is for those who know wildness is not a threat—but an ancient, sacred way of belonging and being.
