beestung: a magazine for 2S & non-binary writers

beestung is a quarterly online micro-magazine for non-binary and two-spirit writers and readers, with an emphasis on intracommunity sensibilities. beestung resists the canon and all forms of bigotry, and is entirely volunteer-run under the imprint of Sundress Publications , a 501(c)3 non-profit.

beestung publishes poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, hybrids, and art by creators who fall under the two-spirit and non-binary umbrellas, with specific attention to historically underrepresented writers.
