Update #4: Three weeks left!

Posted on February 14, 2011

Happy Valentine's, esteemed Backers, current and prospective!

We're 60% funded and just under three weeks away from our deadline. We're confident that with your help, we can reach our $3,000 goal in time.

In the spirit of the holiday, show your love for Avery and Tweet/Facebook/blog our 25 Cities Kickstarter campaign and encourage your friends to give.

We'd also like to say a big "THANK YOU!" to those of our Backers who've decided to increase their pledges. Your generosity continues to amaze and humble us.

Have a happy Monday! More updates to come...

Update #2: Two Weeks In...

Posted on January 16, 2011

Ten backers. $821 in pledges. Twenty-eight submissions:

New York: 5
Los Angeles: 3
Chicago: 1
Philadelphia: 2
Detroit: 1
San Francisco: 3
Austin: 1
Columbus: 1
Charlotte: 1 (photograph)
Memphis: 2

Those numbers aren’t so bad for being two weeks in, if we might say so ourselves.

If you’ve submitted a story or photograph, or pledged to us, THANK YOU! Please, tell your friends about the 25 Cities Project, and encourage them to get involved. There are still cities for which no stories have been submitted, and we are anxiously awaiting more photographs. If nothing else, spread the word about our submission drive: WE NEED YOUR ART!

Stay tuned for more updates about 25 Cities as the pledge and submission drives roll on…

The Avery Anthology is an anthology devoted to the unpublished short story, edited by Stephanie Fiorelli, Nicolette Kittinger, and Adam Koehler.

Twice yearly, we publish a dozen or more new short stories from established, emerging, and previously unpublished writers. Working closely with artists and graphic designers, we produce a handsome book, each edition of which we hope stands as a notch in the evolving recent history of what young and innovative writers are doing with short fiction.
