As a queer publisher, QueeredFiction would like to have an emphasis on the queer community as a whole, rather than by segments. So ideally the perfect submission would have 'queer characters' in the forefront and in the background ... just mainly prominent!

Queries can be directed via the QueeredFiction blog.
The contract for the QueeredFiction anthologies are available upon request.
