Queer Love Anthology
The Leaves Still Fallow: An Anthology of Queer Love
To raise money for TransActual and Mermaids UK, we are putting together an anthology of queer short-stories, and non-fiction which we are calling The Leaves Still Fallow.
We are now OPEN to submissions for the anthology!
The theme is: Queer Love 🌈
This can include any kind of love, from romance to friendship and found-family, etc.
What we are looking for:
- Short Stories (1500-5000 words)

If you have a longer piece you would like to submit, up to 10,000 words, please email us and pitch the story/non-fiction essay before sending it.
We don’t currently pay for published work, so published writers will still retain all the rights to any work we do publish in the anthology.
