The Kickstarter reached its goal early in April and ends on May 8, 2026. The anthology features stories from HWA Oregon members Katherine Quevedo, Niyyah Ruscher-Haqq, and Sarah Walker. The book is expected to ship this summer.

Proceeds from YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM will go to the Trans Legal Services Network and Trans Doe Task Force. YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM is out October 6, 2026, and will be celebrated with in-person events around the Portland area. Preorders are open now.
