Fiction & Literature > Anthologies

The Des Moines Writers Connection is a group of writers encompassing experienced published authors (both self- and traditionally-published) through members who are just "thinking" of writing. The 2020-21 Anthology is an exercise to engage the creativity of our group in a collaborative project.

Short stories to evoke memory, emotion, discomforting contemplation by the reader. The five short fictions reflect on conflict, death, and dark humor encapsulated in digestible flash-fiction omniscient and first-person narratives.

This is the short story anthology authored by Sam, Luke, Ellie, Ethan S., Genevieve, Ethan M., Joey, and Jake. We hope you enjoy it!
