(announcement originally found at Racialicious<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The voices of US racial minorities in alternative sexual communities are important but often unheard. The Perverts of Color anthology is a collection of voices from people of color (POCs) who participate in alternative sexual and relationship practices which include but are not limited to: S&M, D\/s, leather, kink, fetishism, polyamory, and swinging. If you are a person of color who has been or is involved in the kink and\/or poly community, the Perverts of Color anthology needs to hear your story.<\/p>\n

Our Intent
\na) celebrate the experiences of US racial\/ethnic minorities navigating alternative sexualities;
\nb) recover hidden histories and recognize the contributions of POCs to alternative sexuality rights and culture;
\nc) share stories about ways POCs have resisted dominant narratives about their sexuality; and
\nd) create possibilities for coalition and resistance for kinky POCs.<\/p>\n

We are accepting non-fiction essays (1,500-5,000 words) related to the theme of the intersection of race and alternative sexual practices. New authors are welcome. Fiction, erotica, and poetry are not accepted. The Perverts of Color anthology is intended as a multi-ethnic, multi-racial collection, so we encourage all POCs to submit their stories. We invite POCs of all genders, ages, religions\/spiritualities, sexual orientations and socio-economic backgrounds. All authors will keep the copyright to their submission, have a printed biography, and receive one copy of the completed book.<\/p>\n

Contact Us<\/p>\n

If you are interested, email us at pervertsofcolor@gmail.com<\/a> with a one-paragraph summary of your essay (250 words maximum) and a short bio (250 words maximum). All submission summaries are due by December 15th at 12 midnight (Eastern Standard Time). We will contact authors individually to express interest in a complete submission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
