The Sleepers Almanac No. 7Stock informationGeneral Fields

DescriptionEvery year, Sleepers assembles a motley crew of new and established (but mostly new - mostly never heard of) writers for their critically acclaimed collection of short fiction (with occasional miscellany): The Sleepers Almanac. This year sees new stories from people the eds had previously not heard of, including the incredibly talented likes of Isabelle Li and Julie Koh. But there are names that might be familiar, too, to those who love short stories: Brad Bryant, Pierz Newton-John, or Sian Prior, perhaps better known for her journalism, but proving that she knows how to wrangle a story too. What makes the Almanac different is its breadth. The Almanac, which focuses on new and emerging authors, is the result of a slush-pile read, where writers from all over the country have been encouraged to send in stories up to 10,000 words long. Author descriptionSleepers Publishing began in 2003 when two friends, Zoe Dattner and Louise Swinn, decided that they wanted to publish and promote the best new writers around. They run the Sleepers Salons, and publish the annual Sleepers Almanac as well as novels. |
