IASFA Newsletter & Promotions
For the New Release listing in last week’s newsletter, we had over 800 total clicks. That’s on all titles combined. I still call it a huge win because people are looking and these people are readers of your genre. Your cover and blurb must stand on their own to draw readers to your books. That’s…

Open Call – Fantasy Stories
It's about time we do a Fantasy collection – either a story bundle (complete novels, 40k words or more) or an anthology (short stories or novelettes). I'm looking at the biggest Fantasy genres – epic, sword & sorcery, high fantasy, but not urban fantasy (not at this time – I'm running something separate for that with a June release).
Open Call – Science Fiction Stories
What do we want to do – an anthology of SF short stories or a story bundle? We can do one or the other. I'm looking at an April timeframe.
Open call for submissions – Grand Theft Unicorn
RIAH Publishing is taking submissions for the anthology Grand Theft Unicorn. Ocean’s 11 with ogres and trolls. The Italian Job pulled off using hippogriffs. Good Fellas done with dark fae. Leverage by way of Gandalf and Merlin.
We’re looking for stories of crime with a fantasy twist. Tales can be serious or funny, but need to involve a crime, a fantasy element, and have an unexpected twist to them.
