Release Schedule

The Fantasy-Faction Anthology isn’t going to give you everything in one go. Oh no!

What we are going to do is trickle things down to you throughout the course of 2012. As a fantasy fan this will not be easy for you. There is so much awesome stuff to come that you will want to know it all now, this very minute, but we can’t do it. That wouldn’t be any fun.

When we sat down to plan out the anthology we thought to ourselves, “Anthologies come in stages and so should our announcements.” Therefore, we could tell you right now that we have ‘x’ who wrote that amazing ‘y’, and most exciting of all we have ‘?’ doing a short story, you know, the guy who wrote ‘?’. But, as we said, instead we are going to make you wait!

To make sure you keep up with all the announcements, we recommend you sign up for the Anthology Newsletter (the button for which you will find on the left hand side of the page) and also follow us on Twitter (that is on the right side). However, for those who want a rough idea of how and when you will hear things, please see the release schedule below:

Writing Advice

"It's possible to have a paragraph of exposition that includes wit, observation, humor, danger, or any other powerful tool you care to pull from the story telling toolbox. Make it interesting just not in what it conveys, but how it is conveyed."
Doug Hulick - Among Thieves
