Gay Authors Workshop presents
TRAVEL AND CHANGE
Anthology News!
Contributions are still invited for the new SHIFT_ anthology.
In order to encourage participation we are widening the theme of change and transit to include TRAVEL WRITING and transformation, release and new experiences. You may send us any creative writing that you feel fits this remit, up to 6000 words (subject to the editors' choice). Shorter pieces and poems of any length are also welcome. We hope this looser definition sparks your imagination.
Here is your opportunity to see some of your work in print, showcase some of your shorter pieces, poems, or extracts from a book and ... get writing!
Open to all GAW members.

Paradise Press
The imprint of the Gay Authors Workshop.
Established in 1999 to overcome the indifference to LGBTQ+ writing in the mainstream publishing industry, we have published over forty books in print and e-book formats: prose, verse, and anthologies of poetry/stories/essays.
From fantasy and chilling tales of the supernatural to the memoirs of gay men who lived through the repressive years of the 1950s and 1960s, from acerbic humour to thoughtful poetry, from romance to mystery, there’s a book for you! Our books may be purchased via the website.
