About the Contest:
The international Writers of the Future Contest was created and endowed
by L. Ron Hubbard. After several years of success in fostering new
writers, the Illustrators of the Future Contest followed. The winning
stories are illustrated and published in the annual L. Ron Hubbard
Presents Writers of the Future anthology. Described by critics as a
perennial “glimpse of tomorrow’s stars,” a “must-have for the genre
reader,” and “the bestselling science fiction anthology series of all
time,” it is today the most enduring and top-ranking publication of its
kind.
The blue-ribbon panel of judges is what makes this possible. The winning
stories are selected by bestselling authors, including Brandon Sanderson,
Orson Scott Card, Nnedi Okorafor, Kevin J. Anderson, Brian Herbert, Jody
Lynn Nye, Larry Niven, Robert J. Sawyer, Katherine Kurtz, and many others.
The best of the best are hand-picked each year.
There is no entry fee, and stories are judged blind, making it a fair
competition for all authors and illustrators who enter from anywhere in
the world. There are cash prizes. The winners are paid professional rates
and maintain their rights.
It is an excellent program for new authors and readers, who often
discover their next favorite writer.
