Fearsome Critters Arts Journal (Volume 1) [Fearsome Critters] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers.
Thank you, Fearsome Critters Arts Journal! My poem, “One More ‘Lived Through,’ Not Lived,” appears in their first volume alongside some amazing pieces! Don’t forget to get your own copy soon!
Please give me suggestions!
Hey, folks! I need some play suggestions!
I’m planning on designing some plays for my portfolio. I’I am planning on lighting and set designs. I might try to do the costume design, too. I’m definitely going to make the set and lighting designs, but I might try to design costumes as well.
Right now it is only for my graduate school application portfolio rather than a formal production. Hopefully it would be brought to life later on in life, though. (Maybe even during a futue MFA?) I’d love to make these potential designs for plays with diverse LGBTQIA folks.
Any suggestions? Any plays by members of the @LGBTQWriters or @LatinxCaucus would be appreciated! Open to others! #LGBTExcellence #BlackExcellence #Latinx
Older designs of mine are available at my still under construction website: https://julialeslieguarch.weebly.com/theater.html
Thank you, folks!
AWP News and Thoughts
Hello, everyone!
AWP Tampa 2018 is over, but it has left me with hope, excitement, and a sense of community.
I enjoyed serving as a panelist in “Writing Resistance: LGBTQ Writing as a Platform for Change” and “Writing the Invisible: Genderqueer Writers on Writing and Representing Outside the Gender Binary.” Sharing my voice and hearing those of fellow queer writers, publicists, and activists was an amazing experience.
Additionally, I am honored to have been elected as Vice President of the AWP LGBTQ Writers Caucus. Feel free to contact me about any organizational partnerships or questions about the caucus.
I am excited about the work we will be doing this year, and you’ll see me in Portland next year!
Long Overdue Update
As some of you know, I am working as an editorial intern for The Cleaver Magazine. I have been since April 2017, and now I am also working on Cleaver's LIFE AS ACTIVISM as well! I'm ecstatic!
2018 AWP Conference in Tampa, here I come! Come see me and my lovely panelists at these events. Hope to see you there!
Congrats to Kim Roberts, Sandeep Kumar Mishra, Adrian George Nicolae, Benjamin Schroeder, Tamara Miles, Preeti Madhusudhan, Bart Van Goethem, Kim Kolarich, Atreyee Gupta, and Julia Leslie Guarch!

Sunset Liminal is the flagship literary magazine of Sunset Liminal Press, founded in 2014 by three spirited friends based on their belief in the ultimate importance of literature, specifically literature that marries personal, raw emotions with finely tuned adherence to craft in ways that show a human touch of spirit enmeshed in a base of intellect and canonical intertextuality. Sunset Liminal Press is the bow of a new movement, running into the future of literature hauling a tugboat line that reaches back through every era. We seek to publish work that delves into the soul of the individual to reveal wordless truths that haunt every corner of our culture & conscious lives. In this latest issue, we are proud to publish powerful poetry from J.P. Berame, Elena Botts, Kimberly Campbell, Yuan Changming, Jovanni Dwojak, Matthew Freeman, Jane Ellen Glasser, Julia Guarch, Gayane Haroutyunyan, Jack D. Harvey, Olivia J. Kiers, and Nancy Pagh alongside poignant prose from Jordan Davidson and Laura Bernstein-Machlay. From head editor Greg Scheiber: "The theme of loneliness is at the center of this unconscious collection of work. The very nature of writing for art stems from the desire to connect with another's soul somewhere out there. To know that there are others who share our loneliness for we are most obviously shells when we are in the midst of the herd. But as animals who desire love and attention, friends and family, we establish these through the hermetic spirit of the writer. These pages are wrought with faded memories, colored with the nostalgic eye of the mind; fused with human spirit and the need to commune with the lost and the losing; the attempt to hold on to ourselves through art; the exposure to the dueling attitudes of the natural world: harmony and wilderness; and finally, the realization of beauty and transcendence that emerges in our everyday world and reaches its golden fingers into ourselves. The work in this magazine is the cloudy mirror to each one of ourselves who holds this thin book."
As some of you may recall, Sunset Liminal accepted my poem "Written at 3:37am After a Restless Night" a while ago. I am pleased to announce that the issue where my poem resides is now available for purchase! It's available at the link above.
(Also, sorry for the delay. My tumblr was acting up. Any and all posts were queued the last few weeks. I’m back now!)

dear white male writers: DO NOT DO THIS
These horrific, sexist, racist paragraphs - screenshotted and shared for posterity by James Smythe, to whom we are all indebted - are the work of one Liam O’Flynn, a writer and English teacher. Evidently, they come from his book Writing With Stardust: the Ultimate Descriptive Guide for students, parents, teachers, and lovers of English, and are intended as examples of good writing.
UM.
Dear white male writers: DO NOT DO THIS SHIT. IT IS SUPER GROSS AND FETISHISTIC AND ALSO TERRIBLE WRITING. THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS.
Like I just. “Her virility-brown eyes -” WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN? How can you have an “Amazonian figure” ON a “wafer-thin body” when “figure” is a word that describe’s a body’s shape, and Amazonian means pretty much the DIRECT FUCKING OPPOSITE of “wafer-thin” in the first place? What the shitting fuck does ANY of this mean, apart from “I am only nebulously familiar with the concept of women and completely at a loss if I can’t compare their various bodyparts to jewels, animals and footstuffs”?
STOP
GO TO WRITING JAIL
GO DIRECTLY TO WRITING JAIL, DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200
Did no one else notice the second paragraph is about a dog
It’s not, though? That’s what makes it so terrible. Like, he’s literally describing a “native” with “crescent shaped eyebrows,” “oxbow lips” and a “complexion” with a “saffron tint”, someone who doesn’t have “a saccharine voice or retro clothes” - all of which are qualities that dogs can’t possibly have. If the final reference to Labradors is meant to indicate a joke - that he’s been secretly describing a dog the whole time - then not only is he edging into serious bestiality territory (“candy-sweet lips”) while also evoking some very ugly racism (”native”), but he’s using descriptors that literally can’t and don’t apply to dogs in the first place, not even ambiguously, which makes it a terribly constructed joke.
The final line, which has no contextual attachment to anything before it, reads instead like a metaphor comparing himself and the woman to pups in a pound. Even if that line is meant literally, it implies that the narrator himself is also a dog, which - again - makes no fucking sense, given the earlier descriptors. Plus, he explicitly says that he thinks the “nuzzling” is “a custom of her people”, which… at absolute best, he’s describing a fucking werewolf and just hasn’t bothered to make the supernatural element clear, and at worst, regardless of whether he’s describing a dog or a woman, he’s deliberately evoking bestial comparisons between animals and women of colour in order to make it work.
Either way, it’s a burning trashfire paragraph and I want to go BLEACH MY EYES.
This is bad teenage romance fan fiction level and it can fuck eight off.
Listen, I don’t have time to get into all the ways in which the casual assumption that teenage writing, romance writing and fanfic are inherently bad is Not Cool And Actually Pretty Sexist, so I’m just going to link to the last time I discussed that particular issue in relation to men’s writing and leave it at that, k?
