Quick Update On My Publishing Challenge…

Still On Target…

My challenge, at its core, is to clean up and get all my short fiction into print so I can get back writing without wondering “What was the point?”

I have now put together 26 different 10-story collections. 260 different stories. It has been great fun and I have done covers for all of them. More than likely I have that many more to go before I get everything into print, but that I find exciting.

To start getting these books out, I am doing a collections Kickstarter in May. Focus on science fiction. 5 collections are the main ones, with five more that can be gotten at a large discount as a featured selection. And then there will be five stretch goals with a brand new science fiction collection for each stretch goal. So possible in this campaign to get 150 of my short stories, some written just recently and never published, some published in Smith’s Monthly, and a very few published over the years in magazines.

So here is information about the Kickstarter campaign and how to get a lot of my science fiction stories.

Fifty Science Fiction Short Stories in Five Brand New Collections by New York Times Bestselling Writer Dean Wesley Smith!

This is my 60th Kickstarter campaign and it just got approved and we already have a “Project We Love” from Kickstarter. Really cool. This the start of me getting out a bunch of my short stories finally. The base of this campaign is five science fiction 10-story collection. But there is a featured reward that you can get five more science fiction collections. And then in this, all the stretch goals will be brand new science fiction collections.

So if you take the featured reward and the project does all right, you could end up with 150 science fiction short stories from me in 15 original collections.

So follow the link and click the watch button to be informed when this baby launches. And read my introduction on how this all came about. So much fun to see so many of my short stories finally see the light of publishing day after all these years.
