Vanilla Heart Publishing’s With Arms Wide Open Anthology for Fall 2008

Vanilla Heart Publishing announces an open call for submissions for a new anthology.

Our Fall 2008 anthology will include short stories, anecdotes, poetry and snippets that explore the joy of living and loving, based on the theme With Arms Wide Open, which is the working title for this exciting and touching anthology.
