Call for Submissions: KHÔRA's Pride Issue 🏳️‍🌈

Queer joy! Queer drama! Writers! Artists! Deadline May 26.

May 04, 2026

We’re putting together KHÔRA’s annual Pride Issue 🏳️‍🌈 and we want your brilliance.

Where to send your work

KHÔRA welcomes writing and visual art in any genre. Writers are invited to send us the first 500 words (or less) of unpublished work of any genre here, and artists can share links to your images here.

What we’re looking for

We’re drawn to queer joy in all its forms — hidden histories, chosen family, the shimmer of becoming. Personal and public revolutions. The lives we chose and the ones we fought for. We’re especially interested in what pulses beneath the surface of celebration and the complexity that lives alongside it. We love including personal photographs or artwork to accompany written work. Bring us into your world!

The deadline to send your work is May 26.

We don’t send rejections. All submitted work stays active in KHÔRA’s open waters as we curate each issue — we may reach out at any time.

Please share this with the queer writers and artists in your life and the people who love them.

We can’t wait to see what you’re making!

With a big virtual hug,

Leigh

Leigh Hopkins

Editor/Curator, KHÔRA

About the name

Plato described khôra as a “formless interval, alike to a non-being.” KHÔRA is committed to writers and artists who explore the creative by and through an ever-evolving and expansive lens.
