Background

After the success and popularity of Febulous February 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, 2022, FioxiRose, writer, performance poet and lesbian, living in Kent, is reaching out again to friends, colleagues and associates who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex and those of you who may be questioning your sexual orientation and/or your gender identity. Family members are also included. The invitation to you all is to submit a short piece of your own, unpublished writing as a celebration during LGBTQI+ History month. The pieces, whether  prose or poetry, may have specific LGBTQI+ content whilst others simply come from those perspectives.

FioxiRose continues to dedicate this anthology to her dear friend and former partner Sheila, who sadly died very suddenly on 13 February 2016. Sheila championed Febulous February, contributed extracts of her keen writing and did a great PR job on it too.

The theme this year: To my childood self  (500 words max.)

FioxiRose has agreed to post a piece here, and on various queer friendly FB sites, every day during LGBTQI+ History month, culminating in the creation of Febulous February (2022), an anthology which celebrates us in all our beautiful queerness, as well as embeds a landmark in our LGBTQI+ History.

Submissions to fionarose@gmail.com between 23 January – 10 February 2021 to enable planning of the month.  Feedback on submissions within this site are welcomed and encouraged and support any future developments.
