Call for Submissions on Theme of "Love Needs No Translation": Constelacion Magazine

Love Needs No Translation

Tell us a story about love. Any type of love will do: love between friends, love within a family, romantic love, or any kind of love that makes you smile. What's important is the connection, the emotion. Whether your protagonist is being swept up on a romantic journey of space adventure or your main characters are just two buddies trying to survive an apocalypse, we want to read it! Show us what love means to you and why it's important to all of us, regardless of where we are on this planet or what language we speak.
