Sounds like a great project; MKE is a Milwaukee LGBT center and organization, and worth supporting.

There's a website listed above - http://www.crushingheartsandblackbutt... ; do check it out before submitting work, especially if you are a first-time author, and if you are under 18, be cautious about your contact information in any situation you're not familiar with.

I don't see this anthology call listed yet - perhaps we could get a better link?

I'll let you know when it goes up on the call page with the link.

This Center does a lot of great work in the community for both adults and teens. This is a donation anthology and as such 100% of all proceeds will be donated directly to the MKE LGBT Center.
