Calendar of Fools is happy to announce our next anthology! This one, "Intergalactic Rejects," focuses on the theme of rejection. Rejection can get heavy sometimes, in writing. It can feel not only like our story isn't good, but that we aren't good. This anthology is a reminder that that's not true.
