Submissions: Dear You

Young regional LGBTQIA+ young people (aged 15 - 29)

Writers SA and D’faces are teaming up to celebrate the voices of young regional LGBTQIA+ people as part of this year’s Feast Festival. We are inviting all LGBTQIA+ young people aged 15 - 29 in regional South Australia to write and submit a letter to your past or future self. Your letter can be experimental, creative or matter of fact. Whatever you want and need to say.

A selection of letters will be published (anonymously) in a limited print run softcover zine and online through the Writers SA website. Five letters will also be selected to be read aloud (by you or a performer on your behalf) at a special in-person showcase in Whyalla this November.

Letters can be submitted now and up until midnight 31st October 2022.

Letters selected for publication or reading will be paid a small fee of $50 per letter.

Dear You is presented by Writers SA and D’faces as part of No Limits.
