Anthology 2011

The 215 Ink Anthology

First and foremost, thanks to everyone who submitted a story for consideration.  It was great getting to see all the amazing things people have been working on, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t say thank you.  The response was overwhelming and we received far more submissions than we ever expected.  Now sadly though, this means we won’t be able to respond to every creator who submitted individually.  There were too many of you.

But, we know you’re dying to hear what stories were picked to be featured in the anthology, and so without any further ado, in no specific order, we present the lineup for The 215 Ink Anthology.

So again, thank you to all who contributed, and congratulations to those of you whose stories have been included in the lineup.  These thirty-five stories make up almost three hundred pages of the best indie creators have to offer, and we couldn’t be happier to feature each and every one of them in the anthology.

Now we’ll be sending out an email in the coming weeks with contracts and all the details you’ll need to know.   But for now, just sit back and relax, start bragging to your friends, let the sense of pride build up in your chest.   You all earned it.

But Wait, There’s More

We are now also pleased to announce that these guys won’t be alone in the anthology.  We’ll also be including short stories from some of your favorite 215 Ink titles both new and old icluding: Vic Boone, Breakneck, Blue Moth, GCD, Beware, 31, Benjamin and the Fish, and many more!

So get ready, cause when this book hits, it’s gonna leave quite a mark.
(Literally, the thing is going to be insanely heavy)
