L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 38

In case you did not know, there is a contest for new writers that publishes the winning stories each year. Not only that, but every story is illustrated by a winner in the sister illustration contest. It is the Writers of the Future.

Writers of the Future Volume 38 just release at a huge awards-gala in Hollywood last week. Winners and judges flew in from around the world. There is NOTHING else like for new authors.

20220408_Writers and Illustrators of the Future Event_02A5925.NEF

It was started by L. Ron Hubbard. You may know him for his sci-fi classic Battlefield Earth. The purpose, as he stated, was to create “a means for new and budding writers to have a chance for their creative efforts to be seen and acknowledged.”  

The best part is that the stories are selected by top sci-fi and fantasy authors, like Brandon Sanderson, Nnedi Okorafor, Orson Scott Card, Kevin J. Anderson, Jody Lynn Nye, Tim Powers, Larry Niven, Katherine Kurtz, and many more. How would you like to have one of them read your story?

Also, any new writer can enter the contest. It is free, and because it is judged blind, it does not matter where you come from, your color, gender, or age—everyone has an equal chance to win. You just need to be GOOD. 

Now that you know what this is all about, I want to tell you about this year’s collection. 

In addition to all the amazing new authors, Volume 38 also has bonus stories by Frank Herbert (I am sure you have heard of Dune!), L. Ron Hubbard, and David Farland as well as articles with advice for new writers.

One of the reviews says it is a “literary smorgasbord where each new story comes with a feeling of excitement and mystery. Itʼs a binge read. Just one more, you think, and the next thing you know the entire book is gone!”

Here is the Amazon description:

In the World of Science Fiction…

…this Anthology stands out for three reasons:

The stories. The art. The extras. Which will you love most?

Standing on the shoulders of giants, these writers of the future have earned their place in the hallowed pages of volume 38. With 25-award winning authors and illustrators, this collection is a master work.

These diverse stories will fill you with new wonder. 

And a few just might break your heart.

Just imagine…

  • Saving the mammoths is in your hands—can you conjure the magic to make it happen?
  • You’ve got a monster BFF—whom you’re hiding from your own monster-hunting family.
  • You’re part of a sting, out to catch some bar hoppers who are not only bending their elbows, but bending time as well.
  • It’s game on, the fate of the universe is on the line—and you’re about to go all in.
  • And much more!


Think you’ve seen it all? Think again.

What would you give for the “Single Most Important Piece of Advice” from the author of Dune? 

The beautiful art and writing tips are just as wonderful as the collection of stories.

Volume 38 is a treasure.

You’ll love this collection from past and future science fiction masters, because these stories will keep you turning the page.

Gone With The Wig by Lily M. Lipstick

  The drag race is on… Eighteen-year-old Drú Dylan can see the future. Tonight is her Uncle Hunter’s annual Hot Buns Halloween party, a tribute to his Dancing Queen Decade, aka the “Big Hair I Don’t Care” ‘90s. As always, he swears it’ll be G-rated. (It won’t be.) And it doesn’t take psychic powers to predict that any party held at a gay bakery built on land that happens to be the home of a thousand confederate soldiers is bound to cause chaos in this Virginia beach town. (It does every year.) That’s why Drú and her cousin Sam have their own annual competition: gazing into their crystal ball and predicting exactly what kind of chaos will be unleased at this year’s bash. Drú has a record to defend—but even she can’t predict what will happen when Uncle Hunter’s trigger-happy nemesis Rich McCarthy and his sons try to crash the party before its even started. It’s a race against the clock to make sure Uncle Hunter’s big night goes off without a hitch…Old skeletons are dragged out of the clo
