The Write Fantastic 

Cover art by Jim Mortimore

 Established in May 2005, The Write Fantastic is a daring initiative by professional authors, its twofold mission to introduce fantasy fiction to readers who have yet to experience the genre and also to ensure that existing readers are able to appreciate the full breadth and depth of current fantasy writing.

To commemorate the fifth anniversary of the group, NewCon Press is proud to present an anthology of all new fiction from the current membership of TWF.

    You know, Mihir, I’m very excited at the thought of reading all the other stories in the anthology; there’s such an interesting variety of fantasy writers. But then, that’s what The Write Fantastic is all about, the many facets of fantasy writing today!
