We want to have a serious, multi-threaded conversation about women in wrestling here at Fair to Flair, and there’s absolutely no better way to do that than make a literal issue out of it. The fourth issue of Fair to Flair quarterly is all about women & wrestling. We want to explore this issue as thoroughly as possible. We feel that women’s wrestling is unfairly criticized, unfairly run, and unfairly represented, and the issue will tackle major issues pertaining to women’s wrestling today.
Because we want to make this issue known, we’re not only doing an issue of essays, but officially making the month of March “women’s wrestling month.” All month at Fair to Flair, you’ll see articles from guest writers that will also be in the quarterly.
If you’d like to participate (and we’d really love it if you did), email us your article at editor@fairtoflair.com or use our “submit” box above. Please include a little bio of yourself. The article can be anywhere from 750-1500 words. It can include photos and illustrations. This subject matter runs the gamut: write about female wrestlers you like, matches you want people to see, stories you’d like to see told, issues you’d like to discuss, and ideas on how to improve women’s wrestling in the eyes of both promoters and fans. We want stories from the big leagues and the indies (where TH and I recently argued is where you’re most likely to find exciting female action these days), and we want stories that come from the heart.
Women & Wrestling will be the fourth issue of our first volume. Authors will be paid a percentage of the sales, and all authors will receive free digital bundles of the journal.
If you want to be included on the website, please have your piece into us before March 1. We will be bundling the issue together at the end of March, and it’ll be available for pre-order April 1.
We think women wrestlers rock. Let’s make a lasting tribute to their side of the art.
