Luna Luna Magazine, a diary of culture, literature, sex, and magic, made for and by darklings, is looking for writers and submissions!
I write a monthly-ish sex advice column for Luna Luna, as well as the occasional op-ed and interview, and I sometimes curate and edit others’ work for them, as well. Luna Luna is unfortunately, at the moment, a non-paying market, but it’s a fantastic community of creative, talented, intelligent, loving, supportive people that I enjoy being a part of. Also sexy. They’re very sexy.
Are you interesting? Articulate? Hopefully of a feminist mindset? Interested in being smart and thoughtful? Check it out! I’m reblogging guidelines and info below:
