BE THE BEAR Anthology is a non-profit charity anthology with all profits going directly to rape victim support and advocacy programs*

Image included was used for inspiration, official cover will be updated soon!

Announcements and acceptances on our open call and table of contents will be will be updated regularly.

We've set up our preorder option as a campaign rather than our usual preorder package option on our website in order to allow us to offer multiple preorder options and provide public updates for our open call and acceptances, to provide additional updates regarding charity organizations and to offer additional donation options.

Regardless of preorder contribution, the anthology will be published and all profits (including donations and preorder funding) will go to designated rape victim programs.

 STRETCH GOAL: Additional funding beyond our initial set goal will be used to offer a small honorarium to the writers and contributors of this anthology.

*the specific programs will be announced and determined prior to official publication date
