Wily Writers
Since 2009, I’ve done a podcast of speculative fiction at WilyWriters.com.
I take submissions and partner with celebrity guest editors to choose the best two stories each month. I’ve been fortunate to have some amazing guest editors and writers appear at Wily Writers. In addition, the readers who interpret the stories on the audio recordings are just awesome to listen to!
Among my guest editors, I’ve had talented folks from the video games industry, including Cory Herndon, Rich Dansky, Paris Crenshaw, and Phil Brucato; and I’ve had skilled anthologists and magazine editors such as Jennifer Brozek, Lisa Morton, Nate Crowder, Martel Sardina, and Stacey Janssen. All guest editors are hand-picked for their keen eye for amazing fiction.
On the writer side, we’ve published a good mix of skilled, accomplished writers and new, burgeoning writers. We never judge a story based on the name attached, and we are committed to publishing new writers with a passion for pursuing their craft.
Anthologies
We publish an annual “Best of Wily Writers” anthology that collects the stories I felt best represented what Wily Writers is about.
- Night-Mantled: Best of Wily Writers, Volume 1; 2011.
- Future Imperfect: Best of Wily Writers, Volume 2; 2012.

How does one go about querying on a story that was submitted months ago? I have tried both email addresses on the Wily Writers site, the submission form, and the ‘contact me’ link on your website. All have bounced. I am a member of Codex writers group and I know that several of us have stories in submission to Wily Writers. If there is an email address that’s appropriate to use to query, could you let me know what it is? Thanks in advance!
