Shout Out – A Young Adult LGBTQ Anthology (TO Comix Press)
Edited by Andrew Wheeler
“Fifteen Minutes or Less” by Marie Anello & Liz Parlett
Tally and J.J. bus tables at the best noodle joint in town. Their determination, their feelings, and their martial arts skils are all put to the test when they’re asked to make a last-minute delivery!
“The artwork is fabulous and the writing is unique. Also, the humour and illustrations are wonderful and really had me laughing out loud! I highly recommend picking this book up.” – Candid Cover
“If you need a Pride read, make it this truly excellent anthology of queer comics. If you want lovingly-rendered queer comics at any time of the year, this is a great read.” – Love in Panels
“For teens aching for explicit representation in big mainstream science fiction, fantasy, and superhero stories, these references are a gift of inclusion. Shout Out is, in short, an essential collection for LGBTQ2IA+ teens, comics lovers, and keen readers of speculative YA fiction.” – Quill & Quire
“Uplifting, funny, romantic, surprising, and everything in-between, Shout Out is a gorgeous and noteworthy collection with needed- necessary- voices, characters and stories.” – Fab Book Reviews (featuring a Guest Post by me!)
