This anthology was inspired by a short story written by my now deceased mother about watching her beloved grandmother die of breast cancer. I will be accepting stories and images that portray the effect that breast cancer has had on your life. You do not have to be a survivor to submit, you simply have to have been effected in some way. Sales proceeds and related donations will benefit breast cancer charities.
Written submissions can be fiction or non-fiction. The only restriction is that it not be longer than 30,000 words. I anticipate accepting only one story at that length.
Imagery submissions may be of any type of media (photography, sketches, sculptures, digital, etc.,), but the submission must be in digital form for consideration.
