Last year I pranced over to merry 'ole England for a little R&R and and ended up meeting with the editor of the fantabulous queer literary journal Chroma.

If you're a writer or fancy yourself one, I've got good news for you. I just got word that Chroma has announced their second annual International Queer Writing Competition. The categories include short fiction, poetry and Transfabulous Prize for the best short story by a trans writer or exploring trans themes.

Also Chroma is taking submissions for Issue 9 America, from writers and poets from the Americas or by others about the Americas (North, Central or South) but hurry the deadline is August 15, 2008.
