She Holds The Line: Black Women Speak on Gender Identity

Anthology Submission Form for Creators
Thank you for your interest in contributing to She Holds The Line.

This anthology focuses on perspectives that would normally be silenced or considered controversial, including black women who do not conform to “politically correct” liberal narratives, and/or black women who have been harmed as a result of laws and/or social norms promoted within the trans / gender identity movement.

This project is close to my heart and I look forward to reading your writings!

Author Names

Please note that real names and artist names (that you are known by) are highly preferred for publication. This anthology is designed to amplify the voices of black women who would like to be visible in sharing their stories or who have already taken a public stance on gender ideology in some way.

I totally understand that going public with your views on this subject can be challenging. For this reason, there is room in the anthology for a limited number of pseudononymous writers/artists. If your story is particularly relevant to the anthology, it will still be considered for publication.
