Saving Queer Joy: An Anthology
Spread queer joy to save a disabled, queer writer's life
About the Mission
This fundraiser is for a writer of Haitang (a platform for web novels based in Taiwan), who has recently come forward to share her experiences, hoping to raise enough funds to pay off an exorbitant amount of fines to avoid being jailed - all over writing queer web novels.The government is doing underhanded tactics to equate all queer writing as pornography.We are trying to raise $50,000 USD, and are almost at 14k currently, to save a disabled author who cannot survive incarceration from this injustice.
How Else Can I Help?
There are other ways to help. Talking about the crackdown online, encouraging others to read about it and share, helps keep the campaign moving. You can start by signing the petition to hold 7 Seas Publishing accountable.
Share or checkout our merchandise fundraising campaign. Totes, t-shirts, pouches, and more. All proceeds help raise funds for the author!
