Kat Calamia, the curator and editor of Bi Visibility has released full details about her upcoming anthology project and how Bisexual and Queer comic book writers and artists can submit their work for consideration.
For those of you unfamiliar with Calamia’s work, let’s digress a little. Calamia is the creator and writer for both comic books Like Father, Like Daughter and They Call Her…The Dancer. As a comic book journalist, she currently works for Newsarama and has had bylines published from DC Comics, IGN, Fandom, and TV Guide.
And if you’re not familiar with Calamia’s written work then you’ve probably lurked around and engaged with her weekly comic book show on YouTube channel, Comic Uno, which has 15K subscribers.
Kat Calamia has a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and minor in Journalism through Marymount Manhattan and a MFA in Writing and Producing Television from LIU Brooklyn.
A bisexual comic book creator herself, Calamia has previously expressed interest in promoting awareness for Bisexual Creators and Bisexual Comic Book stories. The aptly named Bi Visibility will create a space to collect stories for the varied and shared experiences of individuals who identify as bisexual.
