Quaint Magazine has ten days to raise $1,000 or their kickstarter won’t get funded.

We need more Quaint Magazine!

“Quaint Magazine accepts submissions from female-identified and genderqueer/non-binary folk only. We are strongly committed to publishing work from traditionally marginalized writers, and in exploring identity performance, particularly as it pertains to subverting the cultural cliche of femininity. As such, we cannot accept from from cis-gendered men. This is our way of balancing the scales. Sometimes you have to be exclusionary to foster a more inclusive literary environment, overall.”
