Inclusive Fiction

Stories are important. Stories, especially when read aloud, do more than just entertain—they provide a point of connection between people. But for so long, so many voices have been excluded from traditional publishing, especially women and nonbinary writers, writers of color, and LGBTQ+ writers. It's critically important to find ways to support these artists and make new spaces for their work to exist, and new venues for getting that work out into the world. LikeWise Fiction is dedicated to providing that space and support, sharing outstanding short fiction every episode from writers from underrepresented communities.
