TiF Around Town…

They say no news is good news. And that’s what I have for you today. While I’m busy working on the next TiF Event, the first TiF Press Anthology, and keeping The Wall updated, I have precious little time for anything else. But do keep reading the amazing work that is featured above and share Top in Fiction with all your friends who are always looking for fiction! Tell ’em, we got ’em.

WALL OF SERIALS

We’ve added 5 new serials to the Wall since last week! And there are new chapters/episodes to catch up on as well! As I work towards a better way to announce new additions, do me a favor and check out the Wall. Also, if you’re writing a serial right now, join the Wall with the rest of us!

All events listed below can also be found on our Calendar of Events page.

• Inanimate Objects [A TiF Disruption Event] - Monday, September 15th to Wednesday, October 15th - The next TiF Press writing event is happening and if you see what’s happening with the Eye See You event, then you’ll want to get in on this one! As per usual you can opt to enter the contest or just write a story to participate in the event which is happening on Friday, October 31st for Halloween. More information such as word count length, theme, and submissions link as well as judges and sponsors will be announced on September 15th!
