I’m Axton, an indie trans poet, creating themed collections featuring art and writing by marginalized and underserved creators. This project is about opening doors for people whose voices rarely get heard because of social or political barriers.
If your work fits the theme, you’ll have at least one piece included. I don’t decide by personal taste. Art is subjective, and everyone’s voice matters. However, this is not a space for hate or discrimination. If someone is known to have spoken against marginalized groups, they won’t be included. Growth and change matter, but harmful behavior is not tolerated.
Some collections will also include true allies, those who stand with us and help break down walls. Allies don’t speak for us but amplify our voices where it counts.
Submissions are open to adults 18 and older worldwide because this isn’t just a local fight. Politics and culture ripple far beyond borders.
I’m also building a volunteer core team to help with editing, outreach, promotion, and planning future projects. This is a real commitment with clear expectations and deadlines.
The big goal is to build a full publishing company that fairly compensates creators, centers real experiences, and moves beyond tokenism.
If this speaks to you, whether as a creator or helper, reach out via my connection page. Let’s build something real together.
