Terah Edun offered up the third book in her Courtlight Series, Sworn to Conflict.

The response was great, and picking the winners was difficult, but in the end I selected three wonderful authors to join me in the bundle. All submissions would be read and considered, and best of those submitted to the contest would be bundled up and offered to the public in their very own mini-bundle. If you had a polished, perfected NaNo project that you wanted to share with the world, we wanted to see it. We would put a call out to any authors who conquered NaNoWriMo and produced a one-month novel in the sci-fi or fantasy genre. As I was preparing to take my own plunge into last year’s NaNoWriMo, I contacted StoryBundle and together we came up with an idea. Many authors don’t succeed but, astoundingly, some authors do. From concept to completion in just thirty days! It is a massive undertaking, forcing writers to power through writer’s block, carve precious minutes out of their day for writing, and wring every last drop of creativity out of their brains. This pay-what-you-want bundle will run from May 14th through May 28th, and we think you’ll love what we’ve found!įor the uninitiated, NaNoWriMo is an event in which authors around the world take it upon themselves to produce a 50,000 word novel entirely within the month of November. I’m proud to say we’ve selected some of the very best NaNo stories to present to you in The Sci-Fi/Fantasy NaNo Bundle. After all, the best science fiction and fantasy stories are about intrepid heroes overcoming extraordinary odds, right? Why should things be any different for the people creating these stories? That’s why, at the same time each year, thousands of authors from across the globe come together for a literary sprint called National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo.

Whether you are playing sports, performing music, or writing books, there will come a time when you feel the need to push yourself to the limit and see what you can do under impossible circumstances. Sometimes you need to challenge yourself.
