Undercities: The POC & LGBT Anthology

Undercities is the anthology created by a collective of LGBT authors and authors of colour. Hinged on the inclusive and diverse nature of the fantasy genre it seeks to create a space where groups that are typically marginalised in this area of literature can be recognised as heroic champions. An important project giving a voice to those whose stories aren't often told in the realm of fantasy literature. Literature that embraces and celebrates this type of diversity is sure to benefit not just these specific communities but the entire world.

About

Literature has always been a place where reality meets the fantastical. UNDERCITIES intends to reflect that. The stories presented in UNDERCITIES are reflections of our world as they could and should be; they combine the impossible daring of magic with the experiences of the people with whom we share the world and put the voices of LGBTQ+ creators and creators of color at the forefront of these narratives. Each short story presented in UNDERCITIES presents a different point of view and a different experience—and each of these stories is as diverse and incredible as the authors who created them.

The project is fully backed on Kickstarter, find out more here
