*A Collection of Excellence
is a planned series of books
promoting new authors of exceptional ability.
You, as an author, can appear only once in any given book within a category (story; short story; poetry), however we welcome your appearance in subsequent books published.  



**A special note:  Work that contains explicit sexual content and/or overuse of profanity
will not be accepted. 
We are not accepting Science Fiction at this time but plans are in place to create a unique Sci-Fi collection
in the near future.
