“Dialogues” is an online journal of essays, conversations, photography, fiction, and poetry at the junction of Black and Indigenous perspectives. We are currently accepting submissions for essays, interviews, podcasts, and creative nonfiction reflecting on the quotidian experiences of our community of queer, Black, and Indigenous people. Please send your work and a short biography to info@lungsproject.org with the subject title “Dialogues Submission.” You can submit long pieces (2,000-4,000 words), short pieces (1,000-2,000 words), and audio/video work. All submitted work must be original to the author. We do not consider previously published work. Alternatively, you can pitch us an idea for a new project.
