Writers Save the World Anthology Series A project of Other Worlds Ink (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (February 2023). We provide the following information as an archive. About The way we do things now as a society is unsustainable. Garbage is piling up in our landfills and oceans, income inequality is getting worse, and our governments are often paralyzed when it comes to seeking solutions. Stories do not need to be hard sci fi, but the chosen solution/adaptation should be plausible, given what we know about human nature and society today. That said, we have accepted a few whimsical stories that tickled our fancy in the past.
