Back in 2012, I submitted a story to a Writing for Charity
anthology. There were quite a few impressive authors in the collection—like
Shannon Hale and Mary Robinette Kowal—so I was excited when my story was chosen
to be included. I was also taking a fairy tale course at the time, so it was
fun to work on my own reinvention of a classic tale. It was released in e-book,
I bought it, and that was the end of that.
Well, I found out a few weeks ago that they decided to do a
limited edition print release of the anthology. I was excited because I prefer
actual paper books (especially if I’m in them!!!), and it was a pretty,
shiny cover that, I thought, was a better reflection of the anthology than the
original cover had been.
I went and picked up a few copies at the conference, and it was a fantastic boost during the drudgery of revisions! Also, it was nice to be part of something where all
of the proceeds go to charity.
Are there still any hard copies for sale? If so, put a link in! I would totally buy a hard copy.
ReplyDeleteI'll look into it. I had to go through the editor to buy mine, but I'll see what I can find out. Thanks for showing an interest!
DeleteCongratulations on getting in. Those are big names to be saddle up with. What fairy tale did you base your story on? I've always wanted to do a fairytale reinvention, but haven't found the one for me yet.
ReplyDeleteThe entire collection was based on the Three Billy Goat's Gruff, so entries had to be (loosely) based on that tale. I agree--fairytale inventions are such a fun genre. I would love to do a novel length one someday as well!
