Autistic people’s rights are being threatened. Our worth is being questioned. And suddenly, we’re facing a bizarre accusation that an autistic child will never grow up to write a poem.

This call for work seeks poetry by autistic writers that is socially-engaged, politically-charged, and geared toward raising our voices together against oppression and erasure.

Deadline: July 1st, 2025.
Expected publication: October 2025.

Email editor@anomalouspress.org to send in your work. Please include a brief bio.

We don’t care if you’re formally diagnosed or self-dx’d. Just as long as you identify as autistic.

Call for Work: Autistic Protest Poetry was originally published in ANMLY on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
