The year’s winners of the International Writers of the Future Contest are now available in the newest anthology.

This writing contest was started by bestselling author L. Ron Hubbard to help discover and nurture new authors. There is really nothing quite like it. As contest judge Brandon Sanderson states, “Writers of the Future is the most important award in the community.”

The judges are what set this anthology apart from all others. They include Brandon Sanderson, Orson Scott Card, Nnedi Okorafor, Kevin J. Anderson, Brian Herbert, Jody Lynn Nye, Larry Niven, Robert J. Sawyer, Katherine Kurtz, and many others. They select the best of the best from stories sent in from around the world. The stories are judged blind, making it a fair competition for all authors and illustrators who enter from anywhere in the world and of any color, gender, or age.

It is free to enter, there are cash prizes, and the winners are paid professional rates and maintain their rights. Amazing.
