Queer Life, Queer Love: An anthology

Description

The anthology will comprise 25 stories, non-fiction pieces, flash fiction and poetry, the winning entries from an international competition to capture the best of Queer writing today. This is writing that explores characters, stories and experiences beyond the mainstream. Celebrating the fascinating, the forbidden, the subversive, and even the mundane, but in essence, the view from outside. The book will be dedicated to the memory of Lucy-Jack Reynolds, the trans daughter of Sarah Beal, Publisher at Muswell Press, and niece of co-Publisher Kate Beal. A student, musician and strong advocate of LGBTQI rights, she died in March 2020 at the age of 20.

Edited by Golnoosh Nour, Matt Bates, Sarah Beal, Kate Beal.
