L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 38
This is not just a book. It is not just an anthology of great short stories and articles. It does not just contain gorgeous sci-fi and fantasy illustrations for each story.
If you are not familiar with the Writers of the Future, let me explain.
Writers of the Future is a writing competition for NEW authors of science fiction, fantasy, and horror short stories.
It is open to all writers. There is NO entry free. The winning stories are selected using blind judging, so your color, gender, or age do not have any influence—an equal chance for everyone.
Not only is it a great way for new authors to get their start, it is a great way to find new authors to read. Which I love.
Here are a few other points that make me love this book:
• Every story is illustrated by a winner in the sister illustration contest.
• The judges are top sci-fi and fantasy authors, like Brandon Sanderson, Nnedi Okorafor, Orson Scott Card, Kevin J. Anderson, Jody Lynn Nye, Tim Powers, Larry Niven, Katherine Kurtz, and many more. How can you go wrong?
• The winners are not only published, they are given cash prizes and flown to Hollywood for an exclusive writing workshop AND they are given trophies at a lavish celebrity gala (like the Oscars for writers). Crazy!
Here are the details about THIS year’s winning stories in Writers of the Future Vol 38:
In the World of Science Fiction…

The stories. The art. The extras. Which will you love most?
Standing on the shoulders of giants, these writers of the future have earned their place in the hallowed pages of volume 38. With 25-award winning authors and illustrators, this collection is a master work.
These diverse stories will fill you with new wonder.
And a few just might break your heart.
Just imagine…
• Saving the mammoths is in your hands—can you conjure the magic to make it happen?
• You’ve got a monster BFF—whom you’re hiding from your own monster-hunting family.
• You’re part of a sting, out to catch some bar hoppers who are not only bending their elbows, but bending time as well.
• It’s game on, the fate of the universe is on the line—and you’re about to go all in.
• And much more!
Think you’ve seen it all? Think again.

The beautiful art and writing tips are just as wonderful as the collection of stories.

How the Contest started:
It was started by L. Ron Hubbard. You may know him for science fiction novel Battlefield Earth. The purpose, as he stated, was to create “a means for new and budding writers to have a chance for their creative efforts to be seen and acknowledged.”
