They used to be a hot girl and are now a rescue dog parent and winter swimmer. If you fall in love with them, please take a business card. DOPAMINE PRESS is a queer literary organization that aims to elevate LGBTQI+ writing and writers through publishing, reading series, literary tours, and workshops. We look to nurture and promote queer work that falls outside the mainstream of even LGBTQI+ storytelling: work that is experimental, by writers resisting assimilation; work that stretches the boundaries of what defines ‘queer’ by writers with intersecting identities; work that is raw, by writers who are self-taught. DOPAMINE honors the outlaw heritage of queer artists and looks to writers who are not complacent, complicit, or gentrified, and whose work challenges the status quo through voice, content, or existence.
