MISSION
Queering the Quill is a youth-run anthology project that aims to raise awareness of queer identities, struggles, celebrations, and beyond.
We often forget how powerful the quill can be: a simple story can spark something huge. Writing, with its ability to soar and connect, serves as our tool for change. Through this anthology, we harness the power of the written word to break barriers and, to the world, offer an opportunity to take a step further into understanding the queer experience.
In a world where queer narratives are often marginalized, this anthology seeks to create a space where these stories can be heard and honored. As we share these narratives, we aspire to bridge divides, dismantle prejudices, and ignite a collective awakening to the richness of queer life.
