Washington Writers’ Publishing House: Capital Queer

Join us in celebrating the release of Washington Writers’ Publishing House’s first pocket-sized anthology, CAPITAL QUEER: A PRIDE Celebration, a collection honoring the LGBTQ+ experience through poetry, fiction, and essay. The anthology explores themes of love, resilience, identity, and liberation.

The collection features a cross section of 32 writers from DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Capital Queer is a bold statement of queer love and survival, and this collection arrives at a critical moment. As the editors of this anthology, Jona Colson and Caroline Bock share in their dedication, “To all those in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as the allies, friends, and family, who believe in a diverse, inclusive, equitable, and rainbow-filled world, Capital Queer is for you.” Colson and Bock also serve as the co-presidents of the Washington Writers’ Publishing House.

Washington Writers’ Publishing House is the longest continuously operating nonprofit, cooperative, literary small press in the United States. Established in 1975 in our nation’s capital, the press has published over 100 volumes of poetry as well fiction and nonfiction in more recent years.
