Writers of the Future, Volume 42 Wins an Earphones Award

Posted on by


So happy to share that Writers of the Future, Volume 42 has earned an Earphones Award from Kirkus Audiobook Reviews! 🎧

What an honor and a thrill to be one of the nine narrators bringing this anthology of fifteen science fiction and fantasy stories to life — the work of twelve bold new writers alongside three masters of the genre. Each story invites us into worlds where anything is possible — and for us narrators, that’s the joy: crafting the voices that live inside them, from distant worlds and otherworldly beings to dragons longing to fly free.

And wow, has it ever taken flight — L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future, Volume 42 debuted at No. 1 in sci-fi & fantasy and has now released worldwide. Every story also features stunning full-color art from a new illustrator — and the audiobook comes with the illustrated PDF, so you can listen and take in the artwork along the way.

Thank you to Skyboat Media, Galaxy Press, and Author Services for inviting me along on this magical voyage. Congratulations to the writers, illustrators, and my fellow narrators — what a joy to share this collection with you all — and thank you, Kirkus Audiobook Reviews, for this beautiful honor. 💫

Come fly with us — available now wherever you get your audiobooks. 🐉

Episode 378: Meet the Cast of the Writers of the Future Volume 42 Audiobook

What makes a science fiction or fantasy story unforgettable?

I got to explore this question (and so much more!) on the Writers & Illustrators of the Future podcast with host John Goodwin and several of my fellow narrators from the Writers of the Future Volume 42 audiobook: Stefan Rudnicki, Gabrielle de Cuir, Orson Scott Card, Jim Meskimen, and Scott Peterson.

We talked shop about science fiction, fantasy, and the stories that move us—diving into everything from how we got our start in audiobooks to what makes this anthology so special. Being surrounded by colleagues and friends, many of whom I’ve known since my earliest days behind the mic, was a true gift. What an honor it was to be a part of this conversation!

Writers of the Future Volume 42, written by L. Ron Hubbard, published by Galaxy Press and produced by Skyboat Media, just debuted as #1 on Audible and Amazon’s Hot New Releases in Science Fiction Anthology.
