Anthology Numbers

Greetings writers!

UPDATED June 3, 2021

We've received a number of emails from excited writers asking, “When will the anthology come out?” We will no longer be able to answer related questions, as this blog has the answer. 

The answer is: When we have accepted the number of stories we need (1,764), we’ll be able to publish the book.

Although we are seeking a lot of stories, we want high quality works. 

If you’d like to speed up the release date, help us reach our goal by spreading the word and getting your writer friends to submit a story.

We accept up to 4 stories from one writer. However, we really only want to publish one story per writer. For time sake, this is unrealistic, so multi-submissions are okay. If you do send more than one story, you are encouraged to submit your works to different categories, but you’ll need to use a unique name.

Below are the number of stories we’ve added to the book so far and in parenthesis are how many we need:

Alternate Reality: 26 (16)

Apocalyptic: 37 (5)
