I am very humbled & proud to announce that once again, I have been short-listed for The Pearl Prize.
It means a lot to be included alongside other LGBTQIA writers and explore elements of Queer experience. I especially enjoyed writing for this year's theme, 'Turning the names inside out', and I can't wait to share more.

What will queer liberation look like 10 or 20 years from now? Is there such a thing as utopia? What’s your vision for peace & safety?

They never built statues of us. But we left signs: a cracked CD-ROM, a carved name in a desk, a username that never logged in again.
My first blog post is live: “Him, They, Them, and Us.” A love letter, an archive, and a refusal to be forgotten.🔗 https://medium.com/@christopherpryce022/him-they-them-and-us-1ab183f0d946

When I write a novel, my characters come to life. I give each of them a name, a style of speech, a personality, a physical appearance. They have strengths, flaws, firm identities.

What’s defeating me this time? Is it the dreaded comma? Too many expletives? Metric versus Imperial? What kind of dash to use?! (Spoilers: there’s more than one.)
No, it’s one simple yet very important thing: pronouns.

in her submission of “hotspur: esperance ma comforte,” writer Carmen Aiken described it as “An excerpt from a hybrid book born from Shakespeare's Henriad and turned into queer pining.”

It's December 14th, my yearly tradition of taking a holiday story or song and doing a queer retelling. Now, this year I intended Upon the Midnight Queer, but… well.
Take “Walking in a Winter Wonderland,” then add Giancarlo Herrera and Hannah Schooner’s amazing performance on “A Day (or Two) Ago” from Upon the Midnight Queer audiobook, which coincided at a bakery and inspired this year’s offering—which is also a sequel.

A hefty tale of non traditional romance, queer main characters, eldritch ancient creatures, a kingdom turning towards civil war, and two people who just want to be left alone to live their lives, but who are dragged right into the middle of the expanding mess. Sound like your kind of story? Here you go:

For me as a child, there was no real #transgender representation around me.

In the latest issue of Brevity, Sila Hansen pens a lovely flash craft essay (short essay on design) on an important aspect of good writing: "Against Being Good."
"For the same several years, I have failed miserably at writing this essay. I couldn’t figure out why. It felt dishonest, even when everything I wrote was “true.” I’ve put it aside and restarted it dozens of times..."

It's December 14th, so it's time for my yearly tradition of taking a holiday story or song and doing a queer re-telling.
This year it's "Most of '81," inspired by a favourite holiday song, "Christmas Wrapping" and the realization of what '81 was for queer folk in Toronto...

Every year on December 14th for the last eight years, I've released a queer re-telling of a holiday story, poem, or song.
Last year, it was "The Romance of a Christmas Card," which led to "Not the Marrying Kind."
(I'll admit it, the entire reason I chose "Romance" was because of the line: '"Dick!" he ejaculated.' in the original making me burst out laughing while I listened on audiobook. I'm a child.)

The sixth year, it was "Jingle Bells," which led to "A Day (or Two) Ago."
T'was 2020, so I went with a foppish, silly, author character.

Well. That was something I just read. Wow. "Undoubtedly women are the pioneers of gay fiction" is... well. Yeah. That's a statement.

@AndreaRapp @stefandumont @correspSearch Zwar auf Norwegisch, aber hier wäre zB ein Exemplar eines queeren Briefwechsels in einer digitalen Edition. Der Historiker Ebbe Hertzberg an den Advokaten Paul Andræ. Ich denke, man kann die Briefe als Liebesbriefe bezeichnen. #QueerWriting #Homosexuality #Love

A smart, wide-ranging collection of works by Black women on why veganism is a social justice imperative. There’s so much wisdom in here.

For a long time I was an English professor. In that profession, you’re taught to look down on certain genres so I’m only now discovering fantasy, and, wow, fantasy & speculative fiction by women & queer people of color is mind-blowing! Rivers Solomon & N. K. Jemisin are deservedly well known (check out An Unkindness of Ghosts & The Fifth Season!), but do you know this book?
The writing is strong (some rough spots, but some beautiful moments, too), the characters are so real, the world-building so rich, that I was enthralled immediately & remained so throughout. I can’t recommend this wonderful, complicated, beautiful trilogy-in-process highly enough. And the leads are queer women! What can be better?

I’m 2/3 of the way through this amazing novel which won the American Library Association Stonewall Literature Honor Book Award. Ignore the awful cover. It’s wonderful literary fiction about being a queer, poor, rural outsider in the American South of the early 20th century.
This book tackles (thus far) issues of class & race with nuance and intelligence. I highly recommend it!

A brilliant novel about Cuba, war, being gay, and the Iliad. You’ll live in this one.

Ich habe - nach zwei Jahren - es geschafft, meinen Blogpost fertigzustellen.
Achtung, langer Titel:Warum Superkräfte nach Geschlecht zuteilen eine bestenfalls schwierige, schlimmstenfalls sehr problematische Idee ist - und Ideen zum Bessermachen.
Ich weiß nicht, ob ich im Laufe des Tages alle alten Threads als Blogposts archiviert kriege, weil ich immer was ergänze. Aber immerhin ist der jetzt online.
