Fruitslice is a grassroots publication. We publish quarterly, featuring exclusively Queer artists, writers, and creators. It aims to strengthen community by highlighting and archiving the ‘goings on’ in the hearts and minds of Queer people. It is a community editorial: a slice of literary journal, a slice of magazine, a slice of social commentary, a slice of collaboration, and a peek into the lives of the fruity.

About Us

Fruitslice exclusively showcases work created by members of the LGBTQA+ community. This commitment to providing a dedicated space where Queer voices are centered is fundamental to our mission. While we maintain this policy, we respect that identity is personal and nuanced; we trust contributors to determine whether they align with our community focus.

Publication Schedule

Fruitslice publishes quarterly on the solstices (March, June, September, and December).

Submissions are now open for Issue 7 on the theme: Home.

o belong somewhere is a luxury that feels increasingly elusive—a sentiment that has always held particular weight for Queer people. There's something (almost) comically american about the way we've packaged Queerness into acceptable urban enclaves, as if identity could be zoned like real estate, confined to neighborhoods where rainbow capitalism reigns, and representation has been deemed marketable. 
Meanwhile, in the vast stretches between these designated havens, countless Queer lives unfold in quotidian defiance, claiming space in landscapes both hostile and unmarked.
We’ve been thinking about the perverse theater of recent legislative efforts—the transparent performance of moral panic that serves as a distraction from more substantive collapse. We are literally being legislated out of public bathrooms, school libraries, and medical offices—spaces that, for the privileged, represent mundane infrastructure rather than contested territory.

How do we make home when conventional structures fail us? More importantly, how do we make home... at all?
