Alzheimer's Research UK have agreed to offer their support for a fan anthology tribute, hosted by authors Sorin Suciu and Laura May, in memory of Sir Terry Pratchett, who was well known for creating the very famous Discworld series.
The anthology will follow the theme of memory and all proceedings from the sales will go directly to Alzheimer's Research UK.
Interested? Here are the details.
Guidelines
- Your story should follow the theme of "Memory".
- Your story needs to be between 3,000 to 8,000 words.
- The genre is up to you. Fantasy, steampunk, romance, horror, etc - you choose.
