TWN Anthologies: For New & Emerging Authors

Build Your Author Platform

 Participating in multiple anthologies helps authors build a diverse portfolio of published work. Boost your professional reputation.

Gain Exposure

TWN anthologies introduce authors to new audiences by showcasing your work alongside more established writers. This expands the reach of new & emerging writers.

Build Credibility

Being published in a curated collection enhances our authors' credibility, as each  anthology will be expertly produced by TWN publishing partners.

Start Networking

Enjoy collaboration with other authors, with editors, marketers, and other experts in the publishing ecosystem. These connections can lead to future opportunities.

Learn & Grow

The TWN editorial process will provide valuable feedback that helps our new and emerging writers to improve their craft.

Promotional Support

TWN anthologies will receive promotional backing from our publishing partners. The promotional packages will give our authors more marketing exposure than individual authors may have on their own.

Low Commitment

Take the pressure off! Writing a short story or essay for an anthology requires less time than a full-length book, allowing our authors to gain experience without the pressure of a large project.
