This initiative by Bards and Sages Publishing seeks to highlight the best stories being produced both by independent authors and our fellow small press publishers. We hope to bring readers an annual celebration of the amazing work being produced in the indie publishing community. Many of these works were previously only available in digital format. In this year's issue, stories by: Colleen Anderson, Melissa Bobe, Tara Campbell, Myna Chang, Matthew R. Davis, Madison Estes, Adele Gardner, Brad Goldberg, Andrew Jensen, Zakariah Johnson, Mark Keane, Matthew C. Lucas, L.P. Melling, Mike Morgan, Jennifer Quail, Katherine Quevedo, Susan Taitel, and Richard Zwicker.
