Butch-Femme Press are accepting academic, or otherwise critical or nonfiction, papers on the topic of "Lesbian Futures" in the field of Arts & Humanities. Submissions should not exceed 4,000 words (incl. footnotes) and must engage directly with the theme of lesbianism in a chosen discipline (i.e., literature, film, sociology, art history, etc.) Submissions should be sent in PDF or Word.docx format and should include: paper abstract, working title, author name, and author pronouns. You may submit an incomplete paper, or proposal, with the reasonable expectation to have a first draft completed in October 2026. We accept any recognised referencing system providing citations are accurate and consistent throughout. Papers must not have been published elsewhere prior to submission. Send submissions to: butchfemmepress@gmail.com.

Submissions will be reviewed by our (lovely!) team of editors. Selected papers will be featured in Volume 3 (Spring 2027) of the Butch-Femme Press Literary Journal, and will be available to read and download on our website: butchfemmepress.com.

Contributions to Butch-Femme Press are voluntary; we are unable to provide monetary compensation for submissions at this time.
