Sloane Holzer
I am a writer, editor, and educator living and working on unceded Huichin Ohlone land, also called “Oakland”.
My writing focuses on how we form our identities – through technology, erotics, and social ecologies. I strive for my writing to amplify the intense contradictions of living in this present moment in order to better examine it.
I regularly update my Substack, publishing poetry, experimental essays, and personal reflections.
All of my work is intimately shaped by the depth of my personal experiences as a white, Jewish, bisexual trans woman.
I am always open to inquiries, requests for comment, or pitch solicitations. Please contact me to get in touch!

"No one else but you is qualified to write the story of your trans body. Whether it gets published or not, sharing it is an act of love."
