Bi Men’s Anthology: Call for Writing! EXTENDED DEADLINE!

FOR BI MEN: EXTENDED CALL FOR WRITING & ARTWORK

Due to the inspiring response to our original call and the impressive quality of the submissions we’ve received, we have decided to expand the vision of the anthology to include an e-book and print book, and to include a subset of selections online on the Good Men Project Magazine. We are therefore also extending the call for submissions and inviting additional work for inclusion in the anthology. If you identify as a bisexual (or anthrosexual/ambisexual/fluid/no labels/multisexual/omnisexual/pansexual/pomosexual/polysexual or in some other way as non-monosexual) man/male-identified person, we hope you will consider submitting your work.

• Why and how you identify sexually;
• Where you find support and/or community;
• How your experience of sexual identity is shaped by your other identities (race/skin color, ethnicity, class, geography, religion, age, gender identity, etc.);
• Stories about falling in (or out of) love or about relationships;
• When and how you came out to yourself;
• When and how you choose to come out to others;
• Being a bi-identified man in different communities (e.g., heterosexual, SGLBTQI, kink, polyamorous, ethnic, religious, professional, cultural, etc.);
• Racism, sexism, homonormativity or heteronormativity in bisexual spaces;
• Marriage and marriage equity;
• Being a father and managing family life;
• Brotherhood and building men’s communities;
• Organizing for social justice;
• Ecological consciousness and sexuality;
• Postcolonial queer identity;
• Envisioning queer futures;
• Mothers/Fathers and their bi sons;
• HIV/AIDS, prostrate/testicular cancer, or other health challenges;
• Healthy living;
• Media images of bisexual men (general or pornographic)
• Being bi and out in gay organizations;
• Bi men as elders and mentors.

We are also hoping to include a few resource lists. If you are interested in working on one of these, please let us know right away. Some ideas: bi men’s fiction, bi men’s nonfiction, bi men’s website; websites (bi or not) of particular interest to bi men.

We intend for the final project include a diverse range of voices and perspectives. Submissions from the Global South and people of color communities within North American and Europe are strongly encouraged. We are very much interested in the voices of young people, transgender men, and men living in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Indigenous/Aboriginal communities. If you feel that you rarely see people like yourself represented, please consider submitting work for the anthology.

Submissions are due by June 30, but it would be very helpful to get a sense now of your intentions.

The editors for this publication are Robyn Ochs, an educator, speaker, award-winning activist, and editor of the 42-country anthology, Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World and the Bi Women newsletter, and Dr. Herukhuti, sexologist, shaman, cultural worker, founder of Black Funk: The Center for Culture, Sexuality, and Spirituality and co-editor of Sexuality, Religion and the Sacred: Bisexual, Pansexual and Polysexual Perspectives.
