Mirrors Reflecting Shadows
A Thin Slice of Anxiety




Description
Note: an unspecified portion of income will be donated to The Trevor Project.

We are open to most genres, including, but not limited to, literary, transgressive, horror, crime, noir, and speculative fiction. The pieces can be about most anything, so don’t feel you need to write about LGBTQ+ issues. We want a smorgasbord of short stories and flash fiction. Of course you can touch on these topics, and are encouraged to do so, but the point is to gather excellent short fiction in service of a great cause.
