Cool Anthology!
So a new anthology is out called Twenty Epics. It's a cool concept of writing epics that are only 30 pages. I've not read it yet, but have been anticipating it since I was pointed to the concept/guidelines:

I've heard great things from people who have read it and one of the editors is jamiam's cousin-in-law who I met at jamiam's wedding and is a very cool person. Susan has blogged about it here:

and an early review is here:

(I think "the book saved me from going absolutely bugnut insane" is a great endorsement! ;) )
It's currently available from Amazon and from Lulu (in both book form and (much cheaper) in pdf form):
