Amazon Description:
Behold, 42 Stories Anthology
Presents: Book of 42², or Project 42², filled with time, devotion, and passion.
1,764 micro stories of exactly 42 words, circulated through 42 genres.
Some readers might wonder, “Why 1,764 stories?” 42
stories times 42 genres equals 1,764. Hence, the book’s logo and title having
42². In order to have such an omnium-gatherum of works in one book, the team
searched for authors around the world, from East to West. Finding stories for
the book proved a challenge. Therefore, anthology staff accepted up to four
works, using pseudonyms, from the same author, which were chosen by one
critique partner, one story editor, and one reviewer from a staff of 42. The
book had to have 1,764 author names in conjunction to the stories. There are
still over 1,200 unique writers responsible for writing this anthology. A full
list of authors is available within the anthology website, listed in the
introduction.
In keeping with the theme, titles of stories are
approximately 42 characters and biographies are roughly 42 words. The judges of
the 42 Story of Excellence Awards (SOE) were the authors of the Craft of
Writing Chapter, and the award for that chapter was selected by judges.
Along with the stories, we found 42 unique works
of chapter art from talented artists and photographers. Notably, the Sports
chapter has an original high-resolution photo of JACKIE ROBINSON, by PATRICK A.
BURNS/The New York Times/Redux, which we purchased the rights to in order to be
included in the anthology.
Moreover, the book cover, front and back, has 42
photos on each side, by the talented photographer, KATYA BROWN.
Enjoy the fun, 42 words at a time.
