PUBLISHED!!
you can still use this page to contact us.
It takes a village, it turns out, to make an anthology, and we have had the assistance of many in the production of this. So, first to you our contributors who have generously offered your work for inclusion; then to other members of GAW whose advice and patience has been invaluable - particularly Ross Burgess, Jeffrey Doorn, and Peter Scott-Presland; and then to our families who have supported us throughout: thanks. It is to all of the above that we, the editors, dedicate this book.
Since its founding in 1978, the stated mandate of GAW has been to help gay (meaning, LGBTQ) authors get published in the face of indifference or hostility from the mainstream publishing industry. This is the mandate for our anthology. It has not been easy to face the indifference or hostility of our own GAW mandarins in getting this to press, but here we are and we ALL deserve the accolade!
