About the magazine

Bi Women Quarterly is a longstanding literary and arts publication dedicated to amplifying bisexual, pansexual, and fluid voices. Founded in 1983 as a grassroots newsletter, it has evolved into a vital platform for writing and visual art that explores the complexities of bisexual experience. The journal maintains a commitment to intersectional feminism, community building, and creative expression, offering a space where emerging and established contributors can share poetry, fiction, essays, and artwork.

Editorial focus

Bi Women Quarterly is a global grassroots publication produced by the Boston Bisexual Women’s Network. It has been in continuous publication since 1983, and is the oldest bisexual and women’s publication in the world, with global content and readership. It welcomes news articles about current issues and events, creative writing, musings, book reviews, calendar listings, letters to the editor, visual art (photos and drawings), poetry, and more.

Bi Women Quarterly features the voices of women with bi+ sexualities (i.e. bi, pan, fluid, and other non-binary sexualities). They see “woman” as a broad category with space for an array of gender identities and expressions. They welcome contributions from women who identify as trans, non-binary, cis, and beyond. They welcome essays, poetry, very short fiction, reviews, reports, news, comics, visual art, and short, accessible articles about research related to bi+ people.
