Following our debut cross-genre anthology, Of Shadows, Stars, and Sabers, and we are currently crowd-funding for the magical-themed Of Enchantment, Enigma, and the Infinite, we’re announcing more themed anthologies! On L. Frank Baum’s birthday, in 2026, we are bringing you to the Land of OZ
Editors Jendia Gammon, lifelong Oz fan, and Gareth L. Powell are editing an Oz story anthology, titled Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz!
L. Frank Baum’s iconic fairyland of Oz has captured the imagination of millions of all ages, starting with his fabulous and quixotic original fourteen Oz books. Those books greatly influenced Jendia’s writing, and the illustrations by John R. Neill influenced her art. The illustration of Ozma, ruler of Oz, in the header is by Jendia Gammon.
Jendia’s Note: Without L. Frank Baum, I simply would not be the writer I am today. His delightful, strange, sometimes terrifying, and always stunning fairyland tales will endure forever. I wanted to honor him on his birthday by featuring stories by authors who are similarly inspired, with new Oz tales of their own, based on his lands.
Early reveals on participating writers: Cynthia Pelayo, Chris Panatier, and Jeannie Warner! We will announce more participating authors and future crowd-funding campaigns in the near future. We can’t wait to share this set of stories with you!
Stay tuned for more themed anthology announcements! Explore more upcoming, themed anthologies in a separate post. And for all our upcoming titles, see our current publishing slate. We are CLOSED to unsolicited submissions at this time.
