It’s been great fun reading all of the submissions since issuing the call in November 2017. There were so many excellent entries that it was hard to select the ones that worked best for this space opera and hard science fiction anthology. We appreciate all of the authors who submitted stories for consideration to show their support of the mission of Life, the Universe, & Everything to help educate and hone new and existing writers. All proceeds from this anthology go to support the mission of LTUE to allow students to attend for a greatly discounted price.
Submissions are now officially closed (a couple months early!) for the Trace the Stars benefit anthology.
Here’s the list of stories and authors that will be in this anthology (alphabetically by author):
