Nat 1 Short Story Challenge, Year 2
What happens when you give writers two weeks to dream, draft, and collaborate? Write, Wrong or Otherwise: 2025 is the answer.
In this expanded challenge from Nat 1 Publishing, authors—both new and returning—crafted science-fiction and fantasy stories in just fourteen days, using the extra time to edit, connect, and inspire one another. The result is a vibrant mix of tales born from creativity, community, and a shared love of storytelling.
From heartfelt to hilarious, epic to intimate, every story in this collection reflects the magic that happens when writers create together. Open the cover and see what two weeks of imagination can do.
