TIF NEWS FOR WRITERS
Hi all,
Some quick announcements! First, we officially released our first published book under the TiF Press publishing brand! It’s been a long time coming and I couldn’t be more happy! It includes 18 amazingly spooky and short stories for you to read that you can purchase now on Amazon as a Print book or, even better, as an ebook over on the TiF Press Shop! You may also find a Coming Soon book listed there as well :wink wink:…
And, on the heels of the release of Eye See You | A Horror Anthology comes a much needed update to the TiF Press website! Did you even know we have a website? You probably didn’t. Well, I encourage you to check it out. There are some amazing things there and just on the Home page which now shows the next major event to look forward to as well as an easy way to purchase the ebook for our first book!
I am in the middle of making some much needed updates and things to this site to make it even easier to navigate. But, there are other places/pages of note on TiF Press:
Events - Everything we ever intend on doing at Top in Fiction and TiF Press can be found here with an easy way to add it to your calendar as a reminder.
TiF Summit 2026 - Check out all the VOD’s (Video On Demand) for our very successful 3-day event. They are all found here in one convenient location. And if you want to participate in our 2027 Summit, add the Sign-Up reminder to your calendar!
Wall of Serials - Looking for a serial to read that is Active right now? Here is a literal wall of them. Just hover over an image and watch it flip to give you some key information as you decide whether to read, subscribe, and share each one! Conveniently organized into what day the serial releases and the consistent release schedule as well. [NOTE: If you’ve submitted your serial for entry in the last month and it’s not up there, look for it to be there by EOD today. I’ve been falling behind with updating these and apologize profusely for my lapse here.]
Members - You can sign-up and create your own Profile on TiF Press for free. Doing so will give you access to participate in a part of the site that is hidden and for members only; Forums. Here is where we hope to have fiction discussions, host Pentober 2026 this coming October, and much more! It’s very old school and very niche but it’s a starting point. Also, with your Profile you can share your social media links, what you’re reading, listening to, projects, and much more that will be added in the coming days/weeks. Think of it like your Substack Profile but geared specifically for fiction writers so it includes things Substack never would.
I hope you’ll stick with us as we make the 2nd half of 2026 a great one and prepare your best work for entry into the events we have coming later because several of them are slated for publication in 2027 but only for the brave and the bold who participate! And who knows…that could be you…
Top in Fiction is the place where fiction lives, but it’s also the place where a community of fiction writers and readers can come together every week to share in their mutual love (and respect) of fiction. Read the guidelines carefully:

Any story shared BEFORE the dates listed above will be removed.
