This morning the Defy the Dark anthology was announced by editor Saundra Mitchell. The anthology will be published through HarperTeen in the summer of 2013. The line up for this anthology is amazing. Check it out below along with how you could be the 18th author.
Finally, you could be the author of the 18th story in this collection! We’re teaming up with Figment, and while the details are still top-secret, I can tell you this: we’re having a writing contest to fill that last slot.
If you want to be one of the first to know, you can sign up here to get info the second it’s available. And in the meantime, feel free to poke around the Defy the Dark website.
