エッセイの募集
世界のバイセクシュアルの声を集めた英語の本「Getting Bi」の第二版の作成が決まり、今度は英語とスペイン語とで出版される、と編集者のRobyn Ochsさんからメールがありました。改訂版の作成にあたり、新たに「中南米、東ヨーロッパ、中東、アジア、アフリカ、もしくは世界中のムスリム（イスラム教徒）」のバイセクシュアルの、エッセイや詩が、募集されています。
Robyn Ochsさんには「第8回国際バイセクシュアル会議（バイコン）」の時にお会いし、「Getting Bi」には私も短い文章を書いています。

以下がエッセイ募集の呼びかけ文です。
CALL FOR ESSAYS: Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World, 2nd edition
- Do you have something to say about being bisexual?
- Do you have a story about coming out as bi?
- Do you feel you could identify as bisexual but choose not to?
- Do you find connections (or conflicts) between your bisexuality and other parts of your identity or life?
- Do you have something to say about desire? About relationships? About religion? About community? About politics? About the position of bisexuals in the place or community you call home?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, we want to publish you!
We seek short personal essays or poems (200-1000 words) by bisexuals from Central or South America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, or Africa. We seek Muslim voices from anywhere in the world. (Essays from people from other places and backgrounds will also be considered but our focus is on broadening representation.)If you don’t want your name in print, you can write under a pseudonym. If you think you’re not a “real” writer and would like to be included in this anthology, we want you. If you’re not comfortable writing, we can interview you. If you are not comfortable writing in English, write in your native language and we will translate your essay.
Essays will be published in the second edition of Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World. The new anthology will be published in 2009, in dual editions (English and Spanish).
The first (2005) edition includes personal narratives by people from 32 different countries, on 6 continents, ranging in age from 15-79. Please help us make this amazing collection even broader in scope!
Send submissions to Robyn Ochs (robyn{アットマーク}robynochs.com) by June 30, 2008.
Thank you!

“Getting Bi is one of the most important recent contributions to the global struggle for human rights. By enriching our understanding of bisexuality within so many cultural and geographic contexts, this anthology serves as a magnificent tool for building support and respect for the sexual rights of each one of us.”
（Paula Ettelbrick, Executive Director of the International Gay & Lesbian Human Rights Commission.）
