Submit Your Essay

How to Submit:

Send submissions to: hello@thealphabetclub.co
Put the subject of your essay or a possible title in the email subject line.
Attach your essay as a Microsoft Word or Pages compatible doc AND paste the text into the body of the email.
If your first submission is incomplete, please resubmit one complete entry; do not submit just the missing pieces in additional emails.
Essays may be edited in consultation with writers, and writers will be compensated for work that is published.
We attempt to respond to every submission but because of the high volume of submissions, we may not be able to. There is no need to follow up.

Submission Guidelines:

Limit your essay to 1750 words or less.
Essays must have LGBTQ+ subject matter.
Essays must be entirely true. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Essays selected for the show can be published anonymously or under a pseudonym if desired. (Author interviews may also be done anonymously.)
Please provide detailed content warnings at the beginning of the essay.
Essays must be previously unpublished. Work that has appeared online — on another news website, a personal blog, Medium or elsewhere — is considered previously published.
