What We're Looking For 

Essays, features, interviews, criticism, reported pieces, humor, experimental work, fiction, poetry, visual arts. 

Strong pitches have a clear point of view, a specific angle, and a reason they belong in Fruitslice. 

We're especially drawn to work that is curious, specific, politically aware, emotionally honest, or difficult to categorize. 

Ideas still in development are welcome. 

Before pitching, please check that your topic hasn't already been covered by Fruitslice.

Who Can Pitch 

Fruitslice publishes work by Queer writers, artists, critics, and cultural workers. We use "Queer" broadly and will never ask you to explain or prove your identity.

What Happens Next 

Every submission is read by our editorial team. We don't send individual rejections or status updates. No response doesn't mean no interest. Your pitch may stay in our database for future consideration. If we want to move forward, an editor will reach out directly.
