The L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future anthologies have been published annually since 1985, making them one of the longest-running science fiction and fantasy anthology series. Kristine Kathryn Rusch has been associated with the program for much of its existence, contributing to the volumes and serving as a judge for the contest.
The forty-one volumes span four decades of new science fiction and fantasy talent. Each anthology collects the winning and finalist stories from that year’s Writers of the Future contest. Rusch’s involvement reflects her commitment to supporting new writers, which also shows in her non-fiction publishing guides.
