Springtime Fair Anthology

A project of Hearth Stories (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (January 2025). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

In this anthology we will be featuring stories that center around a craft, recipe, or ritual ([ee their site for specifics]. In addition to the story, each author will provide a set of instructions to make/enact the craft, recipe, or ritual that was featured in their story. The idea is that this will let readers enjoy a great story while also learning something and engaging with the story in an interesting way. The story and the instructions should be firmly related (not just a random thing to make, paired with a random story).
