Welcome to The B'K

The Bitchin’ Kitsch (or The B’K) is an art and literature magazine prioritizing and paying traditionally marginalized creators, but open to all.

The B’K is proudly edited by Chris Talbot-Heindl, a mixed-race, autistic, queer, and trans nonbinary editor.

We are interested in people being able to decolonize and tell their own stories.

– Chris Talbot-Heindl
