The Forge: Fire and Ice

ABOUT FANTASTIC BOOKS PUBLISHING’S CHARITY ANTHOLOGIES

We have a philosophy at Fantastic Books of paying forward. We believe it is the right way to conduct daily life – personal and business. I created our first charity anthology, Fusion, with this in mind. Fusion is still going strong, still generating money for a good cause. Each one of our charity anthologies donates 10% to a charity of our choosing for the lifetime of the publication.

Releasing charity anthologies is a privilege and is by no means a selfless act. It has allowed us to find some of the best and brightest new writing talent while supporting a worthy cause.

Fusion led to us discovering Drew Wagar who went on to become a best-selling novelist. That first anthology also saw the start of our partnership with the prolific Stuart Aken who was an invited contributor both to that first anthology and this latest one. Over the years, authors have said they come back to us with their work because of the quality of our editorial process. We hope we’ve maintained that quality in this collection.
