Thank you to everyone who submitted for Twilight Tales! We had more than twice as many submissions as last time, from a very wide range of writers. Now comes the fun and hard part: reading them and deciding which will be included. We appreciate your support of the Symposium. Thank you.
LTUE Benefit/Charity Anthology #3 – Twilight Tales Edit (16 August 2019): This call for submissions is closed. Since its beginnings in the early 1980s, the Life, the Universe, & Everything Symposium academic symposium has been a staple of the Utah and Intermountain West author and artist community. Many authors, artists, and editors found inspiration for their careers at the feet of scores of symposium guests. Influential professors and others have mentored those planning and running the symposium, but many of these mentors have passed on. The symposium helps students of all ages by providing greatly discounted student memberships. Hemelein Publications—in…

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.

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…
The first batch of acceptances (and rejections) has been sent out for the Trace the Stars anthology. We are planning to have the anthology be around 100,000 words, and right now we are at about 78,000. If you have not yet submitted, please do so as soon as possible. While the submission period is open until July this year, it looks like that might have been too long a time as we have received so many submissions already. We will continue to consider submissions through the end of the submission period, but your story is more likely to be included…
