Calling all writers…
We are compiling our second Gritty South anthology to release 45 days before Father’s Day 2023. For this anthology, we are seeking stories that, of course, represent the gritty, Southern experience—stories that aren’t afraid to tell it like it is and display the less attractive, less discussed side of fatherhood, but that also have a redeeming quality. Something that might encourage men in their journey as a father, teach them how to not repeat the mistakes of their own father, and/or inspire them to be a better parent to their children. If you feel you have something to contribute to what is expected to be a moving collection of short stories, we would love to see YOUR writing included!
