About Deadname Café

Deadname Café is an independent Canadian publisher of queer and trans stories and experiences.

We're interested in hearing your original fiction, non-fiction, and personal essays (sorry, no poetry).

You can submit your writing to the Deadname Café here.


Free Subscriptions

Most of the articles on Deadname.ca are free to read; however, due to the private nature of some of the stories, access to this content is limited to those who have a membership. It's free and works sort of like a newsletter, delivering the latest posts right to your inbox as well as giving you access to posts right here on Deadname.ca


Of course, we can't give everything away, so there are additional paid tiers to access exclusive articles, perks, and more personal (sometimes sultry) stories. All paid subscriptions have the same access, giving you the choice to support us a little—or a lot. Paid subscribers also have free access to any of our existing or yet-to-be-published ebooks.


Buy Us a Coffee

I appreciate any financial contributions you can afford, it helps keep this website online for all. Please know that by supporting us with as little as a cup of coffee a month, you're supporting independent queer and trans writers all year.
