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.

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. 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…
