Simon & Schuster, as part of its celebration of Star Trek's upcoming 50th anniversary, will bring back its popular Star Trek: Strange New Worlds fan fiction writing contest. The orignal Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was a yearly collection of Trek
short stories published between 1998 and 2007, with the amateur
writers' works chosen via an open submissions process. The new contest
for 2016 will result in 10 grand prize winners who will have their
stories published in the print and eBook formats as part of an all-new
and official anthology from Simon & Schuster (yea, this is going on my wish list!). Additionally, the two
first prize winners will receive a free self-publishing package from
Archway Publishing.
The deadline is January 15, 2016 for submissions by U.S.
residents only, and the winners will be announced on March 31, 2016,
with the winning stories selected by a panel (to be named in the near
future). And, to make the 2016 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds a fully fan-created package, fans will soon be asked to submit their artwork for cover consideration. Visit www.startrekbooks.com for additional details.

sultan and the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Agrabah lives in
fear, waiting for his third and final wish.To stop the power-mad ruler,
Aladdin and the deposed Princess Jasmine must unite the people of
Agrabah in rebellion. But soon their fight for freedom threatens to tear
the kingdom apart in a costly civil war.
What happens next? A
Street Rat becomes a leader. A princess becomes a revolutionary. And
readers will never look at the story of Aladdin in the same way again.
