Final Selections Made!

9 more offers out of 40 additional submissions -- if only books had more room in them...

Salutations, Creators.

Following up on our earlier announcement in Round One Determinations Sent, we’re excited to share the next steps in our selection process.

After a rigorous review, we’ve finalized our decisions. All final selection and rejection emails have been sent via email this morning at 8AM EST. We know you’ve been eagerly awaiting this update, and we appreciate your patience and passion throughout this process.

In addition, we are pleased to announce that from an additional pool of 40 submissions, 9 more have been selected to join our community. Congratulations to all the new transgressive minds! We were impressed by the quality and diversity of entries, and this additional selection reaffirms our commitment to bringing together a vibrant, creative, and dynamic group of contributors.

For those who were not selected this time, please know that your effort and talent have not gone unnoticed. We encourage you to stay connected with us and to keep submitting your brilliant ideas for future opportunities.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We look forward to sharing more updates soon — including an official announcement of the NEXT anthology that we’ll be opening for submissions this summer! 🧿

As ever, stay curious,

The Editor.
