Bi Women Quarterly (BWQ) features the voices of women with bi+ sexualities (i.e., bi, pan, fluid, and other non-binary sexualities). We see “woman” as a broad category with space for an array of gender identities and expressions. We welcome contributions from bi+ women who identify as trans, non-binary, cis, and beyond.

Every issue has a theme. While we will consider all submissions, content related to the theme are prioritized.

We welcome essays, poetry, news articles about current issues and events related to bi+ topics, creative writing, musings, film, book, & theatre reviews, letters to the editor, visual art (photos, paintings, drawings, images of 3-dimensional art), and more.

The theme for the summer 2025 issue is: Allies & Accomplices

In social justice education, an “accomplice” refers to someone who actively participates in dismantling oppressive systems by using their privilege to challenge the status quo and support marginalized groups, going beyond passive allyship to take concrete actions that may involve personal risk or discomfort to create meaningful change. All accomplices are allies, but not all allies are accomplices. 

What does it mean to you to be an ally or an accomplice? What are meaningful ways that people have shown allyship and accompliceship to you or to the bi+ community on a large scale or individual level? How do you wish people could show up? How have you practiced allyship and accompliceship for others, and does your experience as a bi+ person impact the way you do so? In a time where solidarity feels more essential than ever, we’re looking to hear about ways to show up in support for others, whether they be loved ones, strangers, organizations, or in any other form.
