and I'm really intrigued and excited by the mixed
formats."—BookRiot
Careful—you are holding fresh
ink. And not hot-off-the-press, still-drying-in-your-hands
ink. Instead, you are holding twelve stories with endings
that are still being written—whose next chapters are up to
you.
Because these stories are meant to be read. And
shared.

deliver a label-defying anthology that includes ten short
stories, a graphic novel, and a one-act play about topics
like gentrification, acceptance, untimely death, coming out,
and poverty and ranging in genre from contemporary realistic
fiction to adventure and romance. This collection will
inspire you to break conventions, bend the rules, and color
outside the lines. All you need is fresh ink.
