To raise money for TransActual
and Mermaids UK,
Big Thinking Publishing created The Leaves Still Fallow: An Anthology of Queer Love
– a queer anthology of love in many forms.
Submissions for this project are now closed. This page is here to celebrate the anthology and direct readers to where they can buy a copy.
The Leaves Still Fallow is a celebration of Queer Love in all its forms – romance, friendship,
found family, and the quieter, everyday acts of care that hold us up. The anthology has an autumnal theme.
- Queer short stories (roughly 1500–5000 words) across a range of genres.
- Personal non-fiction, essays and reflections on love, identity and community.
- An “autumn aesthetic”.
The submissions came from various writers at different stages of their careers, bringing together diverse and passionate voices.
