Alina and Laura will develop Bedfellows, a biannual print and online literary magazine that publishes writing broadly related to sex, desire, and intimacy, with a focus on underrepresented and marginalized voices. The project seeks work that subverts and confronts the stigmas often attached to writing about sex and the body, offering an inclusive, affirming literary space, as well as a sustaining community in Philadelphia.
