2019 Launch – Springfield Writers Group 2019 Anthology – Elemental
The Springfield Writers Group invite you to join them for the launch of their book, Elemental at Springfield Central Library. The book is a collaboration and work of hte Springfield Writers Group that was established by a few local authors in 2016 and has grown over the last three years. The Anthology was born on the idea of combining short stories written by the groups authors and edited by one of its authors, Aiki Flinthart.
After the first book RETURN was launched in 2017 with great success, the next challenge was to come up with another theme for 2019 that everyone could get their teeth into, because the group contains writers of all genres – from science fiction/fantasy, to historical, romance, contemporary, horror, and mystery.
The 2019 anthology is entitled ELEMENTAL. This time there are 16 authors and another theme that allows for any genre – the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. ELEMENTAL contains 16 stories of joy, heartbreak, betrayal, and humanity from award-winning and best-selling authors, as well as talented emerging authors. Everything from dystopian and science fiction, to comedy, drama, fantasy, and steampunk is included in Elemental.
The book launches at the Springfield Central Library at 1pm on July 27th.
