TIF NEWS FOR WRITERS
Writers have asked for the return of the warning email about when the Submissions form is about to close. So, this week, that email will return. It will be scaled back, however. Basically, it won’t have any pressing news contained in it. This email will just be sent 1hr before the form closes as a reminder to those who have not submitted the story they’ve written.
We are less than 4 weeks away from the TiF Summit 2027 sign-up form opening! This form will let me know the general interest of all writers in wanting to go Live on camera and audio to read their work! If you’re interested, make sure to keep an eye on that email that will go out on June 15th.
In the meantime, if you’d like to sign up EARLY the best way to do so is to join the Top in Fiction Discord Server. Everyone there will receive access to the form on June 1st! At the moment I’m only looking to fill 75 spots and it looks like nearly everyone who participated in our first summit will be returning! That means the spots will be limited out the gate. So, I suggest doing all you can to get in early.
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 16 - May 22 on Substack!
Any story shared BEFORE the dates listed above will be removed.
This form will CLOSE at 10pm EST on Sunday, May 24.
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.
