I love sffworld: an amazing site for fans of fantasy and science fiction to talk about their favorite speculative fiction. For the last four years, they've been producing some mighty fine anthologies edited by N.E. White.
The way they create these anthologies is pretty interesting. Generally, they have a few "anchor stories" from established authors, and then hold a contest to pick some up-and-coming authors to shine a spotlight on. I was pleased to be an anchor author for the 2012 anthology and they are currently working on the 2015 version. Here's a bit about the projects:
The End - Visions of Apocalypse - featuring
Michael J. Sullivan and Hugh HoweyLucky or Unlucky? Thirteen Stories of Fate - featuring
Mark LawrenceWars to End All Wars - Alternate Tales from The Trenches - featuring
Elizabeth MoonEcotones - Ecological Stories - featuring
Tobias S. Buckell,
Ken Liu, and
Lauren Beukes
This year, they are using Kickstarter to raise the funds for the anthology and they have just a few days left to raise another $142 to reach full funding.
If you want to check it out, just
