Alaskan Short Stories 2027
Ends on
Edutainment Nite Publishing is seeking your short stories whether they are fiction, micro-fiction or nonfiction for our inaugural Short Stories of Alaska of 2027 Anthology. We’re interested in the voices and styles of marginalized and underrepresented writers including people who have never published a story yet hold aspirations of becoming a published author. Why? Because the literary landscape in Alaska must be terra-transformed from a surface heavily reliant on privilege, education and prestige into one of emergence, subversive writers with fresh voices for the 21st century and beyond. Okay that’s a bit dogmatic and dramatic but you get the point. It’s time for the margins to move to the center.
