L. Ron Hubbard Presents: Writers of the Future books in order

Reading order

The L. Ron Hubbard Presents: Writers of the Future series is a long-running anthology that has published 41 volumes from 1985 through 2025. Michael A. Stackpole is listed as a contributor. The series has come out almost every year for four decades, with only a handful of gaps in the schedule. Two volumes appeared in 2002 (numbers 18 and 19), and the series has kept a steady annual pace since then.

Each volume is numbered sequentially, making it straightforward to track. The earliest entries date to the mid-1980s, and the most recent, volume 41, was published in 2025. That forty-year run makes this one of the longest-running fiction anthology series around. Readers can pick up any volume on its own, though the numbering provides a clear order for anyone who wants to go through them from the start.
