Dawn Hill Publications announces first anthology, In Every Way We Love
Dawn Hill is excited to announce its debut anthology, In Every Way We Love, a collection that highlights the power of love to connect, uplift, and heal. The anthology is now open for short story submissions from UK-based writers, with a special focus on underrepresented voices. Writers are invited to share their unique perspectives on love—as a force for resilience, renewal, and unity—in a time when connection is more important than ever. The deadline for submissions is 12th December 2024, with a £75 payment for each selected story.
Since its founding in 2019, Dawn Hill has been dedicated to championing independent authors and bringing fresh perspectives to readers across contemporary romance, mystery, bold narratives, and crime thrillers. With In Every Way We Love, Dawn Hill aims to spotlight new and emerging voices, encouraging stories that explore the many ways love—whether romantic, platonic, or self-love—serves as a force for transformation and strength, particularly for those from underrepresented communities.
“At a time when societal divides feel greater than ever, we wanted to create an anthology that showcases the incredible power of love to bridge those divides,” said Ravi Venkataraman, CEO of Dawn Hill Publications. “In Every Way We Love will feature stories that celebrate resilience, healing, and the unbreakable bonds we form with one another. We hope these stories remind readers of our shared humanity and inspire greater compassion.”
The anthology will feature eight powerful stories that capture love in all its forms, from overcoming cultural divides to finding self-acceptance and strength in nontraditional relationships. True to Dawn Hill’s mission, the collection will offer a platform for writers who feel their voices have not been heard and for readers seeking stories that reflect real-world complexities and hope.
Dawn Hill is proud to represent a diverse portfolio of authors, including Kyra Radcliff, whose romance novels earned an IPPY Award for Best Romance, as well as Ravina Hilliard, Soleil Collins, and Mark Ravine. Through In Every Way We Love, Dawn Hill continues its commitment to inclusivity and to celebrating powerful, meaningful narratives.
