Current News and Updates

What Shines from It, a collection of 11 haunting, glowing stories by Sara Rauch, is now available for preorder!

We sent out an update via Submittable to all Undeniable: Writers Respond to Climate Change authors, updating you on the editing process and requesting any edits that were made to pieces between acceptance and now. Our editing process has begun, and we are reaching out with edits to each author individually. Please keep an eye on your Submittable messages.

Congratulations to our nominees for the 2019 Best of the Net Award: S. R. Aichinger, Andrea L. Hackbarth, Wes Jamison, Linda Quinlan, Ricky Ray, Daryl Scroggins, Melanie S. Smith, and Teresa Sutton!

Due to a recent misunderstanding, we want to clarify for all authors that royalty spreadsheets are only updated when there are new sales. If there are no sales for the specified time period, then spreadsheets are not updated at that time.
