At the Edge of a big announcement …

The deadline for submissions to our upcoming sff anthology At the Edge has now passed, and editors Dan Rabarts and Lee Murray have made their selections for the book’s table of contents. All authors whose stories have been chosen for inclusion in the anthology have now been contacted, and an official announcement of the Table of Contents and cover reveal is coming soon.

We received 80 manuscripts in total from authors across New Zealand and Australia. Dan and Lee were impressed by the high quality of submissions, and the wide range of styles and structures explored by authors. They were intrigued to see the diverse interpretations of the At the Edge theme from both sides of the ditch, including some deliciously dark tales – which they love.

Stay tuned for a cover reveal and the full table of contents later this month!
