A Collection of Short Stories from Author World Connect is an anthology written by 14 independent authors who are all members of the Creative group, Author World Connect. Author World Connect was established by Chris and Lisa Simpson earlier this year. It is a non-political group for creators of all kinds. Everyone from authors to musicians and videographers. Book 1 in the series in due to be published in early April. Following the successful compilation of the first book, Lisa is already taking submissions for book 2 from all Author World Connect members. On top of that, there is a Poetry compilation also on the horizon. Membership to the group is free of charge. If you wish to join, visit www.myawconnect.com . The group slogan is ‘where like-minded people help each other to succeed’. So what are you waiting for. Currently, there is a poll to choose the cover for Book 1 in progress. That closes on Monday 28th March. Check them out above. Which cover would you choose? Good luck creators and to all who have submitted their stories for Book 1. One last note, the deadline for submissions for Book 2 is May 1st, 2021. All authors can submit up to 3 short stories (from 1500 words to 25000 words – so plenty of margin there). Any author who submits can supply as many links to their other works, web pages, Goodreads, Amazon Author Central etc. as they so wish and all will appear in the back matter of the book. Full submission rules can be found in a featured post on the home page of Author World Connect. Best wishes, Rowan
