Announcing THE ANTHOLOGY: The First Four Years

In which we reveal the cover and open preorders for The Anthology–a limited edition printed collection of the first four years of short stories from Book Smugglers Publishing.

Today, we are utterly delighted to share with you the publication of The Anthology, our last collected print edition from Book Smugglers Publishing, containing twenty-one short stories across our first four years of publishing: Fairy Tales, First Contact, Superheroes, and Gods and Monsters.

In 2017 we ran a kickstarter campaign to level-up The Book Smugglers website, contributors, and to fund our 2018 season of short stories. We were ecstatic and speechless when we not only met our funding goal, but also our stretch goals–which included brand new serialized short fiction from JY Yang as well as the creation of this mega-anthology, comprising the first four seasons of all of our short stories.

    […] I backed the Book Smugglers‘ Kickstarter recently and this week I received my paperback copy of Awakenings. Click the link to learn more about the contributors. I was sad to hear the announcement that the Book Smugglers are ceasing their publishing arm, but apparently they have some new plans in the works. I’m very curious, but sad at the same time.  I also just preordered their final book, a gigantic volume of short stories that they’ve published over the past four years. I splurged on this one, but they are only printing 200 copies. If you’re interested, you can check it out here. […]
