For Immediate Release
Stone Soup Community Press, Inc. 501(c)3 Announces Support For The Legacies of Lesbian Literature Project.
Dayton, Ohio – January 2, 2019 – Darla Baker, President of Stone Soup Community Press, Inc., announced today that the Board of Directors has voted unanimously to add the Legacies of Lesbian Literature Project to the list of charities they support through their programs and donations.
The Legacies of Lesbian Literature Project joins a prestigious list of charities already supported by the work of Stone Soup Community Press, Inc. This list includes: The Lambda Literary Foundation, It Gets Better Project, and The Trevor Project.
Marianne K. Martin states on their website, “As authors of historical fiction, Sandra Moran and I were interested in looking at not just the history of lesbian literature, but also what world events helped shape those stories and to what extent the stories were reflections of the authors’ own lives as they looked for affirmation and their place in the world.”
Baker comments, “The board was looking to include a charity that closely aligns with the mission of Stone Soup. We feel we’ve found the perfect project with the Legacies of Lesbian Literature. Without the courage of the talented writers featured in this documentary, there would be no lesbian literature to support. Releasing this documentary is just too important. The board unanimously agreed.”
