Welcome to the IWSG Anthology Website

All the IWSG Anthologies conveniently located in one blog!

This website has everything you need to know about all the IWSG Anthologies to date with room to grow for future anthologies. Here you will find:
  • author bios and extra info
  • story blurbs
  • links to purchase
  • interviews and informative posts
  • links to past anthology websites
  • news on upcoming anthologies and releases!
I want to thank my fellow overseers of this blog: Cherie Reich, Ellen Jacobson, Elizabeth Seckman, and L. Diane Wolfe. They're awesome!

Please contact us to:
  • volunteer to write a post
  • update/correct author info
  • just to chat or offer suggestions
And to kick off our combined anthology website, we officially announce the opening for entries of the next IWSG Anthology Contest!

The 2018 Annual IWSG Anthology Contest
Word count: 3500-6000
Genre: Young Adult Romance
Theme: Masquerade
A Masquerade can be a false show or pretense, someone pretending to be someone they aren't. It can be a ball, a fancy dress party, it can be a mask. Open to interpretation.

Submissions accepted: September 5 - November 4, 2018

How to enter: Send your polished, formatted (Double spaced, no page numbers), previously unpublished story to: admin @ insecurewriterssupportgroup.com before the deadline passes. Please include your contact details, your social links, and if you are part of the Blogging, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter IWSG group.

Judging: The IWSG admins will create a shortlist of the best stories. The shortlist will then be sent to our official judges--check them out at the IWSG website, announced today (9/5)!

Prizes: The winning stories will be edited and published by Freedom Fox Press next year in the IWSG anthology. Authors will receive royalties on books sold, both print and eBook. The top story will have the honor of giving the anthology its title.

Come back on Sept 19th to see what Cherie Reich is going to share...
and good luck to those entering the contest!!
