Calling all Queer Religious School Alumni! 

Two queer survivors of religious schools, Oisín Rowe (they/them) and Beckett Foxx (they/them), are looking for your poems, essays, photos, art, and more for an anthology to be published by Game Over Books! Work can touch on your school experience or not. We are looking to celebrate your queer radiant self, however you want to show up! We survived some bull shit and now we want to make a badass book! Theme is TBD and will be based on common threads found in accepted submissions. 

All work must be previously unpublished. This includes on social media and personal blogs. 

Keep in mind that the anthology will be published in black and white. 

You can submit up to 5 works across categories. That means 5 poems or 4 poems and a photo etc. All published writers/artists will receive 2 comp copies as payment.

Wishing you all safety, joy, and love! We can't wait to read/see your work!

Please Note!!

Game Over Books does not believe in a reader's fee so submissions are entirely free. However, we are a small operation with limited funds so if you want and are able, there is an option to donate. Or check out our Patreon.

Either way, thank you for submitting your work to Game Over Books. We appreciate you!
