Alphabet of Hope

Alphabet of Hope is an anthology of stories written by members of the LGBTQ+ community from around the world. Hope is a precious commodity for teenagers trying to understand their identity, and these authors share their own accounts of trying to understand who they are, and how the world is going to treat them once they come out. Many stories show the evolution of legal and societal acceptance of queer lives and relationships and show that we can be accepted for who we are, and will inspire people to live more open, authentic lives.

The anthology includes stories by Edward Borek, Kellan Bunting, Lillith Campos, Parker Chapple, Monica Furlotte, Brett Grunerud, Austin Johnson, Alex Keen, Colter Long, Alex Masse, McRae, Conner Mertens, Stephen Parnes, Micah Porter, Trevor Ritchie, James Sanyshyn, David J.C. Smith, and Derek Smith. The stories were compiled, curated and edited by Michael Arendt & Trevor Ritchie.
