Fuck It Up series Part One: Fuck with the Future

What does feminist time look like?

Gap Riot Press is back, a cute little mix of classic and brand new, and we’re issuing a call for work that fucks with the future. We’re looking specifically for feminist, experimental, visual work that queers chronology, cracks open clocks, haunts archives, and burns blueprints. We want chapbooks that challenge linearity and legibility and dream up new beautiful timelines where feminist, anti-capitalist, decolonial, and liberatory futures are just possible … they’re downright inevitable! 

We called for:

• Speculative experiments in/with language and form

• Rewritten histories, haunted archives, ancestral echoes

• Magical realism, myth, prophecy revisited

• Rejections of capitalist normativity and productivity culture

• Utopias, disruptions, and futures made communal and tender

Also… this time we’re looking for short short chapbooks (absolute max 20 pages pls) that imagine and build in feminist time. For this season, we are interested in work that fucks around with form; we want visual, experimental, and formally-innovative writing. Oh, and one more thing: we’re publishing smaller runs and smaller seasons than ever, so please keep that in mind when submitting. We’re interested in collaborating with you to make uniquely material and artistically-innovative works. We’re explicitly looking for things that think beyond the chapbook form and reimagine the future of small press publishing.

Thank you for your interest in Gap Riot Press.
