Every Day Publishing, a small Canadian Press, is running a Kickstarter for its latest anthology. Ray Gun Chronicles: Space Opera for a New Age with an eye toward paying professional rates to the authors for this anthology.
I’ve been accepted for this anthology, and I would love to get paid pro-rates, and I really want to be in the same ToC as some of the fantastic authors listed below (Kristine Kathryn Rusch! Dean Wesley Smith! A.C. Crispin! Mike Resnick! Seanan McGuire! Many other wonderful authors!), but most importantly, I want to see this anthology in print because I want to read it with a burning passion. I adore Space Opera–kind of like how much I enjoy Steampunk—so I want to see this anthology succeed.
And you can help.
