Hidden Villains: Betrayed, a fantasy, mystery, and science fiction anthology is live on Kickstarter!
We’re offering some great opportunities to get your name in the acknowledgments, find new authors, and support some wonderful creatives. There will be some swag add-ons and limited-edition hardcovers available. We’d love your support!
Theme: Noncoporeal II – we’re searching for the spooky stories. This is not horror, though there may be suspense and even a dash of horror. A spooky, haunting, incorporeal element is certainly expected. Humor and mystery beats are welcome. incorporeal – Not composed of matter; having no material existence. At least one paranormal entity must fit this criteria. Express yourself as the theme moves you.
We’ve got the amazing Janci Patterson starting the anthology off with her lead story! We are so excited!
Whether they’re the protagonist or the antagonist, criminals are the theme that Robyn Huss has chosen for our next Hidden Villains anthology. We’ve scheduled our slot with Vivid Covers for the art, and now we wait for next summer to open submissions. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Bring you author friends as there will be plenty to do at the writing track. Check out their website at Multiverse.org. We’ll have a panel Sunday afternoon at 2 pm and will be giving out some goodies so come visit. Inkd Pub is bringing pizza for Klingons. 😉
We’re looking for mysteries and detectives, noir or cozy. Our mystery anthology will be our first, though we’ve discussed it for a while. Submissions close end of November.
We’re looking for readers who love that kind of stuff. We hope to have the book available in Winter of 2024.
A lover of the mystery genre, A. Balsamo will be editing the anthology. We expect a high number of submission so we’ll keep you updated on the timeline for release.
Sara Jordan-Heintz selected a wide group of authors for her stories this year and the topics are just as diverse. We’ll be doing our usual Kickstarter to help keep the lights on. Our goal is four or five anthologies per year. We’ll be at three for 2023.

Robyn Huss will be waiting patiently to see if your story rises up to her list as the submission count is already in the dozens after only being open a few days. We will begin reading and scoring later this summer and she’ll make her final decisions this fall, hopefully during October.
We’ve gotten a lot of interest in our little anthology over the past two years and it won’t hurt that Kevin J. Anderson joins us this year with his lead story. In the past we’ve had Jody Lynn Nye and David Farland as our featured authors.
The Betrayed theme adds a wonderful element to our usual Hidden Villains focus. I haven’t started peeking at the stories yet, but I will soon. Just can’t wait.
