Eleven visionary short stories from award-winning authors are collected for the first time in an anthology-meditation on the value of community. Spanning multiple genres – literary, sci-fi, fantasy – but united in their thematic experimentation, these stories dive into the deep waters of understanding ourselves and our place in our community – and what that community means for our place in the world.

Inspired Quill is a (non-profit) social enterprise, which means that we reinvest our profits back into IQ and local communities. Every time you buy one of our inclusive fiction (or non-fiction!) books, you’re helping us to help others.
We’re currently partnered with Derbyshire LGBT+ to get books in the hands of folks who may otherwise not have access to diverse reading in a safe environment. So for every 10 books we sell through our site (including ebooks!), we’re donating 1 paperback to them.
