Queerkeit Incubators is a network of writing groups where people can connect, collaborate and create the type of Jewish queer content they wish they had access to while they were navigating their journeys. This is a meeting of the minds, bringing the right people together.This is not a support group. This is where powerful, positive, and optimistic voices can move the conversation forward - and have a great deal of fun along the way.

Background
In the summer of 2022, I launched a small project with a few friends. What started as an unassuming writing group, quickly transformed into a collection of co-conspirators, an unimaginable think-tank of the most vibrant and relevant voices. We were creating the content I desperately needed when I was growing up, and more importantly we were envisioning the future we wanted to live in. Simply articulating these ideas seem to breathe life into the very world we thought an impossibility. And by creating this work together, we were becoming the community we had always been seeking.
Program
Participants will receive a stipend to participate in 6 sessions, meeting once a month from January to June, working on a piece that they would strive to share more widely. Writing advisors and editors will be assisting, and the entire program launches the summer of 2024 with a National Writers Retreat bringing together all of the writing groups from around the country. Our ideal writers are queer Jews that have found an integration of their queer and Jewish selves. Their personal practices may vary widely, but they will have insight into how to speak to traditional communities due to their obvious engagement with Jewish values.
