Amazing! They vary based on the scope of the project but start at $350 for a q&a and $450 for a basic short reported story

I hope you'll follow us and read our work! And I don't have a limitless budget, but I'm always happy to hear from writers with exciting pitches! I'll eventually do a more targeted call for pitches, too.

Another really exciting aspect of the project is that it's billingual and all content will appear in English and French! Having lived in Quebec for more than a decade I'm looking forward to getting a chance to try to contribute at least a bit to dialogue between anglo and franco queer communities

It'll be serious when needed, but we believe there's room for irreverence when we talk about our bodies and what they need. We'll be talking about everything from aging to transition to disability to sex to substance use to HIV to healthcare policy and beyond. There's resilience in humour, I think.

We know that queer and trans people are too often dismissed, ignored or worse when trying to access healthcare—if they can get access at all. We want Script to serve as a by us and for us health resource to help people access the high quality info they need to take charge of their health.

Just looking to make connections atm! If you know of someone who fits the bill feel free to pass this along. Content will primarily be created in English, but solid understanding of French is a must, as is LGBTQ2S+ knowledge + competency.

Trans people are not on that list. Imagine the province cared about incarcerated people's safety, health or well-being. They would be focussing their energy elsewhere.

The idea that this is about safety is farcical. A recent study found that prison deaths in QC are up by 87% over the past 13 years. Contributing factors? Dilapidated facilities, excessive use of isolation, overcrowding, lack of mental/physical health care montreal.citynews.ca/2024/02/22/q...
