Seeking Inspiration: Scholarly Pursuits Authors Share a Q***r Book that has Inspired Them!

As we share our upcoming anthology Scholarly Pursuits: A Q***r Anthology of Cozy Academia Stories with y’all, in the hopes you’ll find comfort, pleasure, and inspiration between the covers, we thought it would be fun to take a moment to ask the contributors to share q***r books that have inspired them! We didn’t specify what we meant by “inspiration” – maybe it’s a lifetime of encouragement, maybe it was just the spark for a specific story, but either way or anywhere in between, these are the stories that some of our authors chose to share!

Once Upon a Time… Scratch that—RIGHT NOW: the artist applications for our newest, folktale-themed anthology are open!

Our Q***r Fanworks Inspired By… anthologies take classic public-domain works and give them the q***r makeovers they (and we!) deserve. For this, the fourth anthology in the collection, we’re focusing on q***rifying folktales and fairy tales. Specifically, we are asking creators to choose a folktale or fairy tale with personal significance, and then make it q***r. So bring your personal faves and your inspiration, and fill out an application showing us what you can do and telling us what you’d like to do next!

This is a paid arting opportunity; artists will be asked to complete one full-page (A4/210 mm x 297 mm), full-color piece, and we may have space for some artists to complete more than one page and/or short comics. Base pay is $50 per page, with the potential for raises up to $400 per page depending on our success during the eventual crowdfunding campaign.

Want to learn more? Follow the link in bio for more information and the sign-up forms.

Applications close on July 15th, so don’t hesitate and join us!
