From the Editor
WE WANT TO SHOWCASE… RANTS!
This month, we are calling for RANTS! We’re asking our writers to share with you the things that really get their goat! We are going to gather their FAVORITE rants (chosen by them) so that you can binge-read their amazing posts (and hopefully, laugh, AND maybe learn). If you haven’t already, make sure you follow and subscribe to be notified when the Quintessentials is live!
WELCOME TO THE QUINTESSENTIAL RANTFEST 2022!
How to Be Included:
So, writers, share with us your RANTS! What really pisses you off? What have you just had enough of? What do you want to RANT about? Writers, we invite you to take part in the Quintessentials RANTFEST 2022! Share with us a rant you wrote long ago that needs to be revived or share a new rant to lift that weight off your shoulders.
You DO NOT need to have your submission published with Queerly Trans (there are some great ranty publications — I’ve shared some links below). So, now is the chance to get that ‘thing’ off your chest, whatever it may be. If you (like me), ‘try’ to NOT rant and keep things positive, well, this is your permission to just get downright dirty and release the inner rant! But seriously, for your own mental health, we don’t want you going full hulk mode (or needing more therapy), so, have FUN with it.
We encourage ranty humor!
Here are some publications that love hosting a good rant!
Open Letters To:
Open Letters are sent to the world and beyond. Here we say what must be said, whether it is harsh, humorous, or even a teensy bit passive aggressive. Share your open letters with the world, the meta-physical, or your micro-managing boss.
Fuck Niches:
Welcome future Fuck Head,First off if you don’t like being called a Fuck Head then being a writer at Fuck Niches may not be your cuppa tea. If you are ok being called a Fuck Head then I am glad you clicked over to this article because that means you are interested in writing for Fuck Niches.
The Venting Machine:
We all need and deserve a safe place to vent our daily frustrations to get it out of the system. The Venting Machine is the place to do it.
These are just three suggestions — perhaps you know another great rantfest-worthy publication. Hey, you can even just publish it on your own wall or your own publication, RantFest 2022 still wants it!
Your posts do not have to meet the full QT guidelines but DO need to meet Medium’s guidelines (of course). Drop the link to your showcase piece in the comments. Remember, if you are going to WRITE a new post, you will still need to come back HERE and drop the link in the comments, even if you publish on Queerly Trans. As the showcase is SELF-NOMINATION only, if your link isn’t in the comments, it won’t be in the showcase.
Submissions close STRICTLY August 31st at midnight in YOUR timezone.
Please note, you must be a QT writer to be included in our Quintessentials Showcase. CLICK HERE to apply to write for us.
If you haven’t already, make sure you check out our August Quintessentials Writers Showcase:
