Writers of the Future
Discover new voices in fantasy and science fiction with the Writers of the Future series. Each volume presents a collection of award-winning short stories from emerging authors, offering a fresh look at speculative fiction. This series is perfect for readers seeking diverse new talent in the genre.
Each volume is an independent collection of short stories and illustrations, meaning there is no narrative thread or required reading order across the series.
The stories are the winning entries from an annual international contest, where submissions are judged blindly to ensure that the selection process remains focused entirely on the quality of the writing.
The Writers of the Future Award is widely recognized as a prestigious honor in speculative fiction, often cited alongside the Hugo and Nebula awards for its role in identifying emerging talent.
The artwork featured in each volume is created by winners of the companion Illustrators of the Future Contest, and these illustrations are specifically commissioned to accompany the winning stories.
