Call for Submissions:
*Still Blue: More Writing By (For or About)Working- Class Queers*

Please post/repost. (Please also forgive duplicates.)

Following the success of *Everything I Have is Blue: Short Fiction by
Working-Class Men about More-or-Less Gay Life*
(http://everythingihavei sblue.com/ ), a new anthology on queer,
working-class themes is currently in preparation.

Writers are encouraged to send their work for possible inclusion in the
new volume, tentatively entitled
*Still Blue: More Writing By (For or About) Working-Class Queers*.

Writers of any and all genders are welcome!

Like *Everything I Have Is Blue,* *Still Blue* is meant to showcase our
imaginative writing: short fiction, life writing, memoir, poems, work
that doesn't fit the categories. If it illuminates our realities, our
struggles, our resistance to assimilation and mental gentrification, and
if it's well written, I'll consider it respectfully. (Submissions of
previously published work, as long as you hold the copyright, are also
welcome.)

Please *do not* submit erotica, as I cannot use it.

Send submissions as an email attachment formatted in Word to me at:

editor (at) everythingihaveisbl ue dot com

Be sure to include a biography. [If your server doesn't like that
address, try me at wendell.ricketts at gmail dot com.]

Submissions must be received by July 1, 2008.

Work not selected for the print anthology may also be considered for the
online "Still Blue Project":
http://www.everythingihaveisb lue.com/still.html . "Still Blue" currently
contains new work by Keith Banner, Donal Mosher, Allen Conkle, and Anton
Veenstra.

Many thanks!
