WHO WE ARE
Rough Cut Press publishes visual art, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry up to 650 words. We release a monthly issue and seek emerging and established voices from within the international LGBTQIA community.
Specifically, we seek personal, political, precise, raw, lyrical, critical, and experimental work; the stuff only you can write. Our readers are interested in interrogating systematic inequality, sex, sexuality, gender, phobias, what it means to be an activist, and what it means to create magic.
We’re here to build a platform for a multiplicity of voices to converge, and to compensate all contributing artists from day one.
We accept submissions year-round. We don’t charge a submission fee.
