James Anear is a writer focused on queer rage and resilience

What’s up. I’m queer, mentally ill, and pissed off. Instead of doing something like lighting myself on fire, I write about these things. You can read my writing in:

MiraCosta’s Tidepools 2024 (Award winning essay “Girl Scouts”)

Dig Magazine Winter 2024 (Short story debut “Plastic”)

Westwind Journal Winter 2025 (Forthcoming short story “The Deal”)

Stone of Madness Press (Forthcoming essay)
