Bodies are complex, and our relationships with them can change over time. We want to hear your stories about navigating body image as a q***r person.

How has being bi+ shaped the way you see your body? Are there certain clothes, books, films, or people that have helped you feel more affirmed or changed your perspective? Submit by November 1, 2026 💜

We welcome essays, reviews, poetry, short fiction, news articles, and visual art. Our submission guidelines are on our website. Send your submissions and suggestions for future themes to the link in our bio. You may use a pseudonym, if you prefer.

Bi Women Quarterly (BWQ) is a completely free resource, available online and in print to readers globally. We’ve been in continuous publication since 1983! What started as a local quarterly newsletter more than four decades ago has expanded to a global publication.

We feature the writing and art of women who fall under the bis*xual+ umbrella (folks who identify as bis*xual, biromantic, pans*xual, panromantic, fluid, q***r, sapios*xual, omnis*xual, polys*xual, multis*xual, biplus, etc.). We welcome contributions from all people who resonate with experiences of womanhood, whether those people are cis, trans, nonbinary, or another gender expansive identity.

This is a snippet of a work that is part of the Summer 2026 issue: “Dear ___”.

The author lubayo rose is an East African bi+ gender-q***r feminist practitioner advancing intersectional, community-led African LGBTIQ+ and s*x worker organizing across local, national, regional, and global levels. lubayo rose’s creative writing is an act of love for herself, their communities and the planet that houses the continuous struggle for liberation of black folks assigned female at birth. This letter has been written in parts, between 29th January and 19th April 2026. The story is very rich, with both pain and joy; it warrants pauses here and there. In the pause, I hope you will find sweet relief in the realization that the dreams we all carry within us are the calming balm to the burn these words leave. These Words are for you, You who had to burn so that you may live. May their seed find a home in the softness that you dare to show…

Whether to disclose our bi+ identities, and—if yes—how best to do so, are questions we must address throughout our careers every time we change jobs, coworkers, or supervisors. Does your workplace have an LGBTQIA+ employee group or support LGBTQIA+ people in other ways? Has that changed recently? We invite you to share your decisions and experiences—both good and tough—about being out at work.

Submit by August 1, 2026.
