Anthologies

[close] This group is meant for indie authors that would like to cooperate with other indie authors in order to create a cooperatively published anthology while keeping as close as possible to the indie experience. A free anthology can be a marketing tool much more powerful than individual free shorts we might publish. A non-free anthology may allow you to escape the short-story-unfriendly pricing and royalty conditions of major channels like Amazon. If you as an author write short stories, join this group and lets see how we can give birth to anthologies without giving up the indie spirit.

[close] The purpose of this group is to read and discuss one short story a week. For the the first couple of years, we read from specific anthologies, but from 10 November 2025, members can pick a story to share, and pick a week. There is a link to each story in the discussion's opening post. You can drop in and out at any point, but we hope you enjoy participating in current - and even past - discussions. If you want to join, please answer the question you will see if using a browser. Private profiles that don't will be refused, as we want to get to know each other.
