Writers of the Future Volume 36

General Impressions:

As you may know the Writers of the Future is the definitive writing contest for new writers. I’ve been reading this since Volume One, finding many of the new authors fascinating and make a fun read. Not all of them mind you but that’s a matter of personal preference.

Volume 36 took out all the stops with a proper taste of science fiction (robots putting on Shakespeare’s plays, sort of) and a touch of fantasy (young girls on the cusp of womanhood and who have a magic touch), that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

The cover is a masterpiece, (by Echo Chernik, illustrating the story The Phoenix’s Peace). The book starts with a few tips from the top jockeys of the illustrator, the writer (by Andy Dibble and L. Ron Hubbard) and collaborative writing (Sean Williams).

My fav stories were Educational Tapes by Katie Livingston, a future time where a student is warned to comply or else; the Automated Everyman Migrant Theater, where robots can alter their forms to present plays in their moving theater, the Avon on Strat Ford (get it?). The Green Tower by Katherine Kurtz was a fun fantasy, makes me want to read her fantasy novels in her “Deryni” Universe.

Final Thought:

As far as anthologies go, this has to be the best one I’ve read in 35 volumes. The stories grab you to the end, the tales are funny, or thought-provoking, or the author makes a point of what life might be like if we’re not too careful. Highly recommended.

I won’t write out all the rules for the new writer or illustrator who wants to enter this contest, so see www.writersofthefuture.com. ( )
