Hillfire Press publishes an annual anthology of short writings, and you are holding the third volume! Open it and see what (less than) 2000 words can do. Hillfire Anthology is a celebration of the craft of writing, and of bringing writing out into the world.

It is a showcase of individual talent, as well as of how it is transcended in collaboration. This collection of new writing is rich in its variety, and we are confident you will find something to connect with.

The third volume brings us onto (quite a few) boats, into the future and the past, and back to the dark forest. Each piece an illumination on its own, on these pages they shine brightly together, and we could not be more excited to present them to you.
