Imaginarium 2016 is proud to welcome Alliteration Ink as the latest member of our sponsor family. An exceptional award-winning small press publisher of anthologies, collections and novels, Alliteration Ink’s dedication to the craft of writing and quality releases make them a perfect fit for the mission of the Imaginarium Convention in helping writers advance on their path.
About Alliteration Ink: Alliteration Ink is a small publisher from Dayton, Ohio. They have published over 16 original and award-winning anthologies, collections, and novels. Notable examples include the twice-nominated Eighth Day Genesis as a worldbuilding guide for writers and gamemasters, the award-winning Steampunk World, and genre-twisting anthologies such as Not Our Kind, What Fates Impose, and Streets of Shadows.
With a commitment to treating authors fairly, Alliteration Ink has spearheaded ethical standards for crowdfunding in publishing, as well as making their base contracts public and exposing scams.
Just as importantly, Alliteration Ink is dedicated to publishing “stories that take chances”. Owner Steven Saus explains: “When I started, anthologies were considered really risky. Since we’ve demonstrated that anthologies can be profitable, we’re focusing on telling and publishing stories that take risks, that don’t fit neatly into categories. From The Crimson Pact shared-world without a shared-world anthologies, through Dangers Untold which has no ‘traditional’ monsters, and the genre bending offerings in Sidekicks! and Not Our Kind, I’ve really enjoyed being able to bring these unique stories into the world.”
Alliteration Ink has more plans for the upcoming year before Imaginarium 2016, including launching a periodical and several new anthologies. There are currently calls for submissions for the first two – Steampunk Universe and No Sh!t, There I Was.
