ANA Anthology Announcement

DECEMBER 3rd 2012 | An ANA2012 eBook anthology will be available for free.

As some of you already guessed, after America's Next Author 2012 is finished, there will be an eBook anthology available for download. The anthology will include all of the Nominees from #ANA2012 as well as a selection of stories that made it onto the jury's shortlist but didn't get a wildcard.

This will be a free eBook in both ePub and PDF formats, and will be available for download the day after the ANA winners are announced. It should be fun for all of the nominees to be included in this publication and since it won't have any DRM, you can give it away as a holiday gift or just share it with everyone to spread the cheer!
