Call for submissions

lesbian-ebooks, an initiative of gay-ebooks, is a dynamic new website that will publish and promote exciting, quality work from lesbian writers. We are inviting submissions from poets, writers of short fiction and playwrights for our first collection of work, flaunt.
Here is the chance to flaunt your talent and skills to a potentially world-wide readership. Publish those pieces that are currently burning up your hard drive, desperate to get out into the world.
There's no money, only glory at this stage, but we're working on that! We want flaunt to be the first of many such e-ditions. On-line publishing ... it's the way to go! Please limit your submissions to 3,000 words, and send it to the editor by 14 September 2008.
