How we got here
We began in November with a call for submissions to writers to help us create a collection of family-themed stories to benefit The Kempe Foundation.
Our editorial team consisted of two curators and nine additional editors, all of whom were integral to the success of this project. The curators include Lila Krishna and Penfold.
We had three goals with this project: To support The Kempe Foundation and their mission with a fantastic story collection, to give every writer who submitted the opportunity to receive feedback, and to give a home to our writers’ crazy uncles and aunts.
From November to February, we worked with the authors (and each other) to mentor, edit, and judge. We were blown away by the quality of the submissions to this collection! In all, we received 64 stories by the end of the call for submissions.
We want to thank the #tldrwriters community for your stories and support while we curated a fantastic lineup of new voices. This collection is the work of hundreds of hours, and we can’t wait to add this collection to our TL;DR family.
