Anthology Submission Call

The Library of Lost Things

We’re seeking short stories for an exciting charity project due to be published in Autumn/Winter 2026. This multi-genre anthology will be raising money to help support a fantastic construction industry charity, details of which will be announced soon.

The anthology book is being published by Jennie Ward of JKW PR & Marketing and will be copy edited by Charlotte Jacobs (Staffs alumni) of Lovebite Edits.

We’re looking for tales inspired by the phrase ‘The Library of Lost Things’, featuring resilient but flawed characters who have a love for adventure, are driven by ambition, or perhaps even teeter on the edge of villainy. We’d love to see emotionally charged, character-driven journeys that show true depth and growth of character.
