Written in the Wind Indiegogo Campaign

The next Worldsmyths Indiegogo campaign has begun! Written in the Wind is the fourth Worldsmyths anthology, set to be released in spring 2023.

Any support you can give is amazing and greatly appreciated, whether it’s a like or share on social media or word of mouth. This campaign will help get stories of new authors out into the world.

Written in the Wind will be our FOURTH anthology, and I am excited to once more begin the process of writing a story for it and putting our next book out into the world!
