A Wave Blue World’s support of the Trevor Project is especially significant to ALL WE EVER WANTED editor Matt Miner who shared, “When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, there really wasn't any media that normalised LGBTQ+ people. With ALL WE EVER WANTED, we've been able to create a beautiful book where many of the stories just have queer folks existing and being normal and living their lives and having adventures not always tied to their sexuality and struggle - and I think if books like this had existed when I was growing up, I might have had an easier time coming to terms with who I am. The Trevor Project is doing vital life-saving work and I'm proud that A Wave Blue World has chosen to donate some of the proceeds from our book to that cause.”
ALL WE EVER WANTED is an anthology filled with stories that present a brighter vision of the future that gives a platform for a multitude of creative voices that shares A Wave Blue World’s mission of connecting people through storytelling. Creator Jarrett Melendez is one of the contributing voices: “With the help of charities like The Trevor Project, the positive futures we envisioned in ALL WE EVER WANTED can become a reality. I am so proud and moved that A Wave Blue World has decided to donate proceeds from our book to a cause whose mission statement hits so close to home. I spent so much of my youth feeling depressed and ashamed of my sexuality - knowing that something I worked on might help LGBTQ kids in similar situations is all I’ve ever wanted.”
