Random Static is pleased to announce that we will be publishing an anthology of science fiction and fantasy by New Zealand writers. The anthology, with the working title “A Foreign Country: New Zealand Speculative Fiction”, will contain new fiction by both established authors and new talent.
We are running a short story competition for the anthology in association with Au Contraire, the National SF/F Convention. Details are available here; note that membership of the convention is not required to enter. The book will be launched at Au Contraire in August 2010.
NB This is not necessarily the next book we’ll be publishing; the open submissions policy means it’s being announced much earlier in development than usual.
