Remember my call for writers about a week ago? Well, I learned something’¦ apparently; short term commitment is the clincher for queers. I had a handful of people write in with some really fantastic series ideas.

First up is Rachel Gollay. She’s a full-time grad student (surviving on a small stipend!) and has offered to write a series about navigating the finances with graduate school. From the application process, to accepting an offer (should you accept the school that offers more funding or a school with a high-ranking reputation?), to the process of loan deferral and prospect of taking on more debt’¦ Rachel will cover these money topics from her seat at the front of the class. You can learn more about her by reading her complete bio. And when she’s not studying, grading papers, or procrastinating, she can be found writing and performing her own music, cooking vegan cuisine, and obsessively reordering her Netflix queue. Please welcome her to Queercents.

More new series to come’¦ so stick around. We have some fresh faces that plan to dazzle you with their newfound brevity.
