River Furnace
@RiverFurnaceRiver Furnace, launched in April 2018, is a unique adult writing collective born from the Trans Women Writers Collective & Booklet Series. It serves as a platform for trans women artists who have experienced subjugation within oppressive systems, offering a space for creative expression and community building. The collective's focus is on producing art and writing that directly confronts neocolonialism, anti-Blackness, and transmisogyny. Currently boasting 97 total members, with 56 paid patrons, River Furnace demonstrates a dedicated community supporting its mission. While precise financial figures are unavailable, estimated monthly earnings fall between $57 and $570, reflecting the ongoing support for this vital project. River Furnace's unique approach lies in its explicit centering of marginalized trans women voices, creating a powerful and necessary counter-narrative within the adult writing space.
