Short Fiction Collections

The Wildwood Reader was created to publish short fiction by new and emerging writers from around the country. 

Each year, our readers and subscribers will be asked to vote for their favorite stories of the year; those stories will then be published as an anthology featuring the "best of" each year in paperback form; if all goes as planned; we'll also produce a case bound limited edition version. Our goal is to continually publish short fiction written by contemporary new and emerging writers for today’s leisure reader. With your support, these writers will become prominent and move on to bigger publishing houses.

In the end, we want our books to be looked upon as a reference to an author’s earlier work; work done "back in the day" if you will. As we know, magazines and most paperback books are generally not kept for very long. We hope that through our efforts, our limited edition books will become part of someone’s collection of works to be read again and again into the next millennium and passed on to the next generation of readers and aspiring writers... for inspiration.
