Women’s Anthology: Call for Submissions

TL;DR Press proudly announces a call for submissions for our inaugural, and hopefully annual, women writers anthology. We are excited to get this project underway, and showcase talented women writers from around the world.

The anthology will be published through Amazon, and will be released as an ebook and paperback. We are shooting for a September release date.

Charity

The TL;DR Press Womens Anthology curators have chosen the Endometriosis Foundation of America (endofound.org) as the anthology charity. We are so honored to work with them for this worthy cause. All proceeds from the sale of the book, both electronic and print, will be donated directly to the foundation.

One in ten women suffer from endometriosis, and yet many go undiagnosed or without proper treatment. The Endometriosis Foundation of America strives to increase disease recognition, provide advocacy, facilitate expert surgical training, and fund landmark endometriosis research. Engaged in a robust campaign to inform both the medical community and the public, the Endofound places particular emphasis on the critical importance of early diagnosis and effective intervention while simultaneously providing education to the next generation of medical professionals and their patients.

For more information on endometriosis and the foundation please go to: https://www.endofound.org/endometriosis. The Endometriosis Foundation of America is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. EIN number 20-4904437.
