OTHERSIDE
OTHERSIDE is a quarterly queer-led literary magazine of speculative fiction, poetry, and art by 2SLGBTQIA+ authors and artists. Inspired by José Esteban Muñoz’s definition of queerness as “an insistence on potentiality or concrete possibility for another world,” we reject the present. Instead, we dream of a future we call the otherside: a future defined by possibility, a future in which marginalized authors and artists are no longer confined to the margins. We believe that queer stories by queer authors matter, now more than ever.
We publish quarterly issues in March, June, September, and December. Each issue contains at least 16,000 words of original fiction and poetry plus original art, reprints, and nonfiction, all by authors and artists who self-identify as 2SLGBTQIA+.
You can read all our published work here after it's released online, and you can find our submission guidelines here.
Buying issues here on itch directly supports our mission to publish human-made art and writing by queer creators!
