Here are what other readers are saying:

Testimonial:

"Thank you for the Writers of the Future XXII. These books were a welcome addition to our small library here at the US Embassy in Iraq. Of the hundreds of books in the library, these books see the least shelf time. I also sent several copies out with soldiers returning to their forward operating bases in other parts of the country. The short stories in this book were all superb. Each story was unlike any story I've ever read before.

In the military we are often told to think outside the box. I can honestly say that the stories in the book were all written by "outside the box" thinkers. I have always believed that good science fiction stimulates creative thinking. I also enjoyed this book because it allowed me twelve new opportunities to escape to a place far different from any place that I've ever been. I'm sure that the men and women who are out there patrolling streets will appreciate the break from reality even more."

Very respectfully,

Major F. P., United States Army - Multi National Force Iraq

 

Testimonial:

"Writers of the Future XXII blew me away!! Absolutely every avid short story reader's nirvana! Each tale brings fresh and unexpected topics that make this collection a deliciously eclectic reading buffet. Before I was halfway through the book, I called my stepson (David) to thank him for sending it to me as a Christmas present. And when I finished the last story, I had to have more, so I called and ordered every back issue I could get my hands on. Thank you David for such an awesome gift!"

Testimonial:

The Writers of the Future volumes are a plethora of stories, a myriad of themes and a kaleidoscope of talented aspiring authors on the brink of greatness.

Todd Jandreau
Truck Driver, Mission, TX

 

Testimonial:

As a classroom teacher I value stories that challenge my students. The science fiction of L. Ron Hubbard invited my students to think in new ways and to explore science as it relates to fiction. As simple as that sounds, it is hard when the writing is poor. L. Ron Hubbard's writing is demanding and inviting.

I am also thankful for the Writers of the Future short stories. I tell my students that reading the Writers of the Future selections prepares them for thinking of tomorrow.

Kevin Cordi
Teacher and PhD student at Ohio State University

Testimonial:

WRITERS OF THE FUTURE JUDGE, ORSON SCOTT CARD:

"The book is the key to everything. Writers of the Future is the best anthology published today."

He further says, the stories in Writers of the Future are "....extraordinarily good. That's what Writers of the Future gets all the time. They get people's best work."

WRITERS OF THE FUTURE JUDGE, SEAN WILLIAMS:
First story originally published in Writers of the Future Volume IX, now a New York Times Bestselling Author

"For me the most life changing thing about having my story appear in the Writers of the Future Volume IX, was knowing that people were reading it, people had judged it to be worth reading and that I was doing something that was worth doing. That's worth more than money, it's worth more than prizes."

WRITERS OF THE FUTURE JUDGE, KEVIN J. ANDERSON:

Kevin submitted repeatedly to the contest and as each story he submitted was critiqued by the judges, he got so good, he was published professionally and disqualified himself from entering again. He thanks the Writers of the Future for helping him get his career started.

"The success of this contest is just awesome. I can't believe how many household names have come out of it."
