Hey! Got some great news yesterday from Ylva Publishing.
The holiday anthology Unwrap These Presents is HOT OFF THE EBOOK PRESS available right now as we speak.
It’s got a ton of authors (full disclosure: I’m one of them) and ALL PROCEEDS go to benefit 2 organizations that help homeless LGBTQ youth:
The Ali Forney Center in New York City
The Albert Kennedy Trust in the UK
I’m going to give you a stat, friends.
Some FORTY PERCENT of homeless youth are LGBTQ and nearly 7 in 10 respondents in this 2012 study about homeless LGBTQ youth said that family rejection was a major contributing factor to their homelessness.
Rolling Stone recently did a piece on homeless LGBTQ youth, and it will give you a stark picture of what these young people face without a support network.
We hope you’ll help us help these two wonderful organizations, and consider helping similar organizations and programs in your area whether through donations or volunteering.

Happy Sunday!
What a great way to help LGBT homeless youths! Thank you, Andi and all the participating authors for this wonderful gift. Hats off to Ylva Publishing for a totally unselfish offering. ALL PROCEEDS go to helping these organizations for LGBT youth. No gimmicks like “the first 200 copies” or something like that we’ve seen from other publishers. How cool is that?
Off to buy my copy…
Thanks, LM! 😀
