L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 38


L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 38


Writers of the Future is an annual anthology of short stories, illustrations, and articles with writing advice from bestselling authors.

Each story is the debut story of a new author, illustrated by a new artist.

Each author and artist has won the international writing competition for NEW authors of Science Fiction, fantasy, and horror short stories and illustrations: Writers of the Future.

The contest is open to all writers. There is NO entry fee. The winning stories are selected using blind judging, so your color, gender, or age do not have any influence—an equal chance for everyone. Authors keep the rights to their story!

And did I mention who selects the winning stories? That is the best part. The panel of judges includes some of my favorite sci-fi and fantasy authors: Brandon Sanderson, Orson Scott Card, Nnedi Okorafor, Jody Lynn Nye, Kevin J. Anderson, Kathryn Kurtz, and many others. I could go on and on.

This is not only an excellent way for new authors to get their start but also a great way to find new authors to read. 


Synopsis:

In the World of Science Fiction…

…this Anthology stands out for three reasons:

The stories. The art. The extras. Which will you love most?

Standing on the shoulders of giants, these writers of the future have earned their place in the hallowed pages of volume 38. With 25-award winning authors and illustrators, this collection is a masterwork.

These diverse stories will fill you with new wonder. 

And a few just might break your heart.

Just imagine…


  • Saving the mammoths is in your hands—can you conjure the magic to make it happen?

  • You’ve got a monster BFF—whom you’re hiding from your own monster-hunting family.

  • You’re part of a sting, out to catch some bar hoppers who are not only bending their elbows, but bending time as well.

  • It’s game on, the fate of the universe is on the line—and you’re about to go all in.

  • And much more!


Think you've seen it all? Think again.

The beautiful art and writing tips are just as wonderful as the collection of stories. Volume 38 is a treasure. You'll love this collection from past and future science fiction masters because these stories are page-turners.

How the contest started:

 

L. Ron Hubbard, well-known for his best-selling sci-fi epic Battlefield Earth, started the contest in the early '80s. The purpose, as he stated, was to create “a means for new and budding writers to have a chance for their creative efforts to be seen and acknowledged.”  

The contest has been championed by some of the great authors since the beginning, including Frank Herbert of Dune and the incomparable Anne McCaffrey of the Dragons of Pern series! The judges for the contest now are no less impressive, as I mentioned above.
