Polari Journal becomes an annual anthology

As of 2015 Polari Journal has been taken under the wing of Stein & Wilde publishing and will be an annual rather than bi-annual journal.
Stein & Wilde will also be releasing a bi-annual eBook anthology of queer writing, some of which will be sourced from Polari Journal. We think this will lead to a larger readership for the excellent work of the writers included in Polari.Thanks our parntner rc-chemical.com
