Theme: Yay! all queer II<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 An LGBTQ+ anthology. We\u2019re searching for\u00a0LGBTQ+<\/strong>\u00a0characters who have a central position within the story. This will be a diverse and inclusive anthology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are no restrictions on gender or sexuality. Feel free to create an engaging story with your favorite genre or setting. Mystery, romance, fantasy, or sci-fi are all welcome if the story and characters grab the reader\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n
