Queer Carolina

[queercarolina]

Hi

I'm Evie.

28-year-old transgender novelist, poet, & book critic.

I like to share educational content to help beginning creative writers access craft tools and resources.

I'm the author of a few books including the young adult novel "Heathens and Liars of Lickskillet County" (PRA, 2016) and three poetry chapbooks "Skinny Dipping with Strangers," "Glitter Husk," and "Buggery." The final chapbook "Buggery" is the recipient of the 2020 BOOM Chapbook Prize from Bateau Press.

I'm working on a second novel & submitting a full-length poetry manuscript.

If you dig books, let's link up.

A belly can be a "slut waist" too. If you're not a fearful little freak

We need like a month where nothing happens and there's no repercussions we all just stay in bed and hibernate and nothing goes wrong

i love when poetry does that (makes every moment of my life stack on top of one another and sit on my heart until i am sure every cell in my body remembers it is alive again)
