Brief update on the call for Parliament of Wizards: We are slightly behind due to COVID-19 stuff, but we are very close to finishing selecting all of the stories. We should have letters out to everyone who submitted within the next couple weeks. Thanks for your patience!
We are working on several projects right now: We are reviewing and sending out the edits to authors for Twilight Tales, our light horror anthology. This will take a few days due to COIVD-19 impacting how we work on things here at Hemelein, but they are going out. If you’re waiting for your edits, rest assured they are on their way soon! Twilight Tales is scheduled for a February 2021 release. We are also working with the cover artists to finalize the cover. Once that’s done, we’ll share it with you. We are reviewing the submissions for Parliament of Wizards….

Tangent Online has been reviewing short science fiction and fantasy for nearly three decades. Each year, they release a recommended reading list of new short fiction, and their 2019 Recommended Reading List includes two stories from Trace the Stars! “Knowing Me”, by Eric G. Swedin and “Cycle 335” by Beth Buck. Congratulations to the two of you! We’re glad to see your stories getting noticed. There are so many amazing stories on the list, and we are very proud to have these two stories there, too. Thanks to Victoria Silverwolf for reviewing the anthology for Tangent, and to Dave Truesdale…
First of all, thank you to everyone who submitted stories to Twilight Tales. We were overwhelmed with the number of submissions we received (more than twice as many as for A Dragon and Her Girl).

If you submitted and have not seen a letter yet, please check your spam/junk folder in case your…
