TL;DR Press Hope Anthology A project of TL;DR Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (December 2020). We provide the following information as an archive. We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About TL;DR Press is proud to announce the call for submissions for Hope, a collection of forward-looking, positive short stories and poetry, to benefit Action Against Hunger. We are asking for submissions from English-language writers around the world who have something to share and want to help a great cause. This past year has been incredibly challenging and divisive in so many ways. We feel it is time to start bringing people together to craft a united, just, sustainable future. And what better way to inspire such change than with works that uplift us, that show us what is possible for ourselves and for the world around us? In the words of Jonathan G. Chew, “To change the world, we have to change our narratives….It’s the stories we tell ourselves as a culture, as a society, as a world that define the future that we all end up living in.” Country of Publication & Year Established United States Established in 2020 Publication Media & Frequency Electronic Publication Electronic PublicationOne-time publicationPrint Publication Print PublicationOne-time publication Collapse section Fiction Closed Audience:Open to a broad Audience.Genres: GeneralLengths: Flash Fiction: Up to 1,000 words.
