We feel that breaking down isolation is a fundamental part of doing this work. This section of our site serves to publish and present the writings and art work of people in our movements who are struggling to bust down binary thinking.

Email us if you might be interested in submitting work at bustingbinaries@yahoo.com.

Submission Guidelines:

  • We accept poetry, artwork, fiction, non-fiction and blended genres that specifically relate to binary busting.
  • All pieces must address issues of accountability. Binary busting is not about taking away from a particular community's history and experience, it's about deeping our understanding of oppression and intersectional work.
  • Written submissions can be no longer than 2000 words in .rtf or .doc formats; images should be submitted as .jpegs or .gif files.
  • The bustingbinaries.com co-creators can suggest editorial changes and they have the final say on what gets put on the site.
  • Authors and artists retain all paper and electronic rights to their work.
  • We do not provide compensation for work posted on this site.
  • Whether or not your work is accepted for publication, you will be notified within a 3 month period of submission.

If you would like to snail-mail in your work, please contact us to obtain our mailing address at bustingbinaries@yahoo.com.
