Roxane Gay’s newsletter THE AUDACITY features an emerging writer twice a month. “Emerging writer” is here defined as “as someone with fewer than three article/essay/short story publications and no published books or book contracts.” Please submit your best literary essays and memoir. Please submit only one essay at a time.

The Audacity is a weekly newsletter where the author Roxane Gay shares her thoughts, critiques, and frustrations revolving around current trends and our society. Along with other emerging writers, she writes The Audacity newsletter to help inspire people, remove stigmas, and have humane discussions about taboos.

Every two weeks, I will publish an essay from an emerging writer, someone with three or fewer publications) and share a brief interview with them about their work, who they are, who they hope to become.

In January , Gay debuted her newsletter The Audacity, featuring essays by herself and emerging writers on a bi-weekly basis. It is also home to The Audacious Book Club, which features one book per month highlighting new works from underrepresented American writers.
