TiF Around Town…
This week went by so quickly but it also seemed rather fruitful in all I was able to accomplish! Feeling like I have less time with days going by so fast creates a sense of urgency to get things done and be as efficient in my decision making as possible. I know, I know, I’m being rather cryptic. There is much going on behind-the-scenes specifically with Top in Fiction. But fear not! I plan on revealing all at our State of the Union happening at our 1 year anniversary on July 2nd at 11am. I’m pumped for this date because we will be looking back and celebrating the past as well as embracing the ideas I have for the future of Top in Fiction. The time has come to tell you (and show you) everything I’ve been dreaming of (and implementing) these past few months.
Are you ready for this?
Now, onto some news worth noting:
TiF Presents… - Friday, June 13th, the only, Friday the 13th happening this year, is right around the corner and Top in Fiction would love to collaborate with writers of HORROR! If you write horror or would like to dabble in writing horror, please do join us! The theme is Eye See You and this will be both a contest and an event wrapped into one! All who wish to participate should write then share their story on their own Substack on Friday, June 13th. More information coming June 1st.
TiF State of the Union - Wednesday, July 2nd, is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Actually, no one’s been waiting for this date more than me. I can finally reveal all the secrets I’ve been keeping since, believe it or not, LAST YEAR, and every single blue print idea I have. Let’s celebrate 52 weeks of Top in Fiction releases by looking at the factual and raw data. Then switch gears to making dreams come true. I’ll even share some of the ideas I tried this past year that just never got off the ground.
Pre-Order these amazing releases:
Lamb: A novel in Snapshots by Mr. Troy Ford [6/3/25]
