TIF NEWS FOR WRITERS
Hi all,
Yes, I am a day late, but with a really good reason that I wish I could share with you. I can’t. But it’s a reason that will forever impact why you chose Top in Fiction and TiF Press in the first place. It’s so amazing and so secret that I’m calling it “PROJECT S” and I want to show you a screenshot even though what I’m working on is very much NOT ready and likely won’t be for another 55 days. I have given myself a 60 day countdown clock to get something pushed out to alpha testers and then an additional 30 days after that to get beta testers in. Showing you this screenshot is whatever comes before alpha! lol
So, if I’m a bit late to getting things out there it’s because I’m just a little bit busy building a thing I probably have no business building considering how much I already have on my plate but I find it quite relaxing to do…
I hope you’re spending these last few weeks of Spring writing and sharing and learning as you go! Cause I know I sure as hell am! And due to it’s day late notification, I will keep the Submissions form open until 10pm on Monday, May 18th (which also happens to be my first day of Jury Duty! YAY!)
TiF PRESS PUBLICATIONS IN 2027
For anyone interested in getting their work published, there will be at least 3 opportunities for you to do so this year and the are:
A Deadly Game Event - Our Halloween themed event this year will be a bit different. We’re going to let the readers decide on the best story. All who participate will have an opportunity to receive an invitation for the 2027 anthology. [Opens 9/28. Closes 10/28.]
“11” - A special event that I can’t tell you much about until late Summer.
Secret Santa Plot Swap 2.0 - We’re back and as a surprise to many, all who take up the challenge and participate will be invited to be in the ebook only 2027 Volume II release. [Sign up begins early November]
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:
Only fiction shared between May 9 - May 15 on Substack!
Any story shared BEFORE the dates listed above will be removed.
This form will CLOSE at 10pm EST on Monday, May 18.
Share fiction you’ve read AND/OR fiction you’ve written. (Self-promotion of your fiction is welcome!)
If self-promoting, submit NO MORE THAN 2 stories! This is a strict rule that will be enforced.
Story must be Free-to-Read (No portion of it can be behind a paywall).
Story must be written in English.
We DO NOT accept stories written by AI. If we discover, at any time, that AI was used, the story will be removed.
Comments are turned OFF for all TiF Notification emails.
Fill out the online form for consideration in our Weekly emails:
You will receive another email 1 hour before the submission form closes on Sunday.
