~ About The Award ~
“Monarch Queer Literary Awards is a new annual anthology recognizing the best new queer writing and art published by literary magazines and independent presses. Most awards for queer and LGBTQ+ writing are dedicated to honoring full-length books; while we honor the critical importance of these awards, we aim to create a complementary space for uplifting the groundbreaking and often under-celebrated poems, short stories, essays, and artwork that are published in magazines, chapbooks, zines, and other collections.”
