The Writers of the Future Contest was created and endowed by L. Ron Hubbard in 1983 and after several years of enormous success in fostering new writers, it was soon followed by its companion Contest, Illustrators of the Future. Winning stories and illustrations are published in the annual L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future anthology. Described by critics as a perennial “glimpse of tomorrow’s stars,” a “must-have for the genre reader” and “the bestselling science fiction anthology series of all time,” it is today the most enduring and top-ranking publication of its kind.
