Not just because the support you lend this campaign will ensure over-two-dozen creatives are paid for their work but because I think this book should be in the hands of as many young readers as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Speculative Fiction for Dreamers: A Latinx Anthology<\/em> is edited by Alex Hernandez, Matthew Goodwin &amp; Sarah Rafael Garcia. The book, likely a perfect bound trade paperback, will be published by Ohio State University Press, a non-profit, and is scheduled to premiere in August 2021. From what I know of those involved, which is not-nearly enough, this anthology will be full deeply personal works reaching out to a generation of underrepresented readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just look at this table of contents . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Preface: Frederick Luis Aldama<\/li><li>Introduction: Alex Hernandez, Matthew David Goodwin, Sarah Rafael Garcia<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h:part-i\">PART I<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Karlo Yeager Rodriguez: \u201cHow Juan Bobo Got to los Nueba Yores\u201d<\/li><li>Ernest Hogan: \u201cThose Rumors of Cannibalism and Human Sacrifice Have Been Greatly Exaggerated\u201d<\/li><li>Sabrina Vourvoulias: \u201cSt. Simon of 9th and Oblivion\u201d<\/li><li>Samy Figaredo: \u201cAncestral Lines and Other Tall Tales\u201d<\/li><li>Tammy Melody Gomez: \u201cQuetzal Feathers\u201d<\/li><li>Lisa M.

Besides one, or more copies of the book, you can receive original artwork, short story or comic consultations, query critiques and more. Plans are on the way to feature an author\/artist each day throughout the campaign.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking back, you might notice that my piece <em>CONTRABAND<\/em> makes up <strong>Part V<\/strong> of the anthology. As I had no say in its placement and only a general idea of the other works included, I&#8217;m thrilled by what I find to be such auspicious placement, with-in the collection. Knowing what I know about my contribution, I&#8217;m utterly intrigued with ideas about the over-all reading experience. But there&#8217;s another reason why my position at the end of the line has me so tickled. As this campaign progresses I&#8217;ll get to know more and more about the creatives whose art, and craft, and work will literally be bound to mine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An added bonus, I have just a bit of lead time before it&#8217;s my turn to present what I&#8217;ve got to offer as an incentive to support this project.  I&#8217;ll update this post or add a new one for the occasion. Until then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/fordreamers\/speculative-fiction-for-dreamers\">have a look at the campaign&#8217;s progress<\/a>.
