Event Horizon 2018

Each year, the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer honors a new writer in the science fiction and fantasy field: an author who has professionally published a short story or novel in the past two years. This year’s anthology contains 59 stories, and like last year’s edition, it’s free for the taking in ePub, MOBI, or PDF formats, while you can pick up a print edition for $15 on Amazon. Both editions will only be available through July 15th, 2018. In his introduction to the book, Kerr notes that each author was permitted to submit a single work, in an effort to make the anthology a slightly less overwhelming read. Despite that, it still tops out at just under 300,000 words.
