Anthology Announcement: Unavowed

Hi Grim Oakers,

Unavowed is the exciting anthology publishing from Grim Oak Press, the award-winning SF&F publisher responsible for the the Unfettered and Unbound series. The book will feature short stories by twenty-two (22) SF&F writers who have written independent work outside of New York City publishing, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. They have grown eager readerships despite the odds against them and, to shine more love on their work, Grim Oak Press is proud to publish Unavowed 

As I've said before, anthologies are a great way to find new authors to read. Unavowed will be no exception. It will be over 200,000 words, making it a large anthology with a variety of different types of SF&F stories. In other words, a great place to find that new favorite writer! Or enjoy more work from one you already read.

We need you to bring this book to life. Unavowed will be available on Kickstarter where the crowdfund will take place. We will offer an ebook, a trade hardcover, a limited edition, a lettered edition, and a rare edition. There will also be a tier that bundles all of them together into one pledge.

But let's get to the important stuff. Who is contributing to Unavowed? Read on!
