Norilana Books is proud to announce that it has come to an agreement with the Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust to publish the next original book in the classic anthology series Sword and Sorceress.
Sword And Sorceress is the long-running popular series of annual anthologies from DAW Books featuring sword and sorcery stories of strong female protagonists, warrior women and sorceresses, edited by the late Marion Zimmer Bradley for over two decades and beloved by generations of readers. The roster of writers "discovered" or published in Sword and Sorceress over the years reads like the Who's Who of genre publishing. The series has featured the writing of such authors as Laurell K. Hamilton, Mercedes Lackey, C. J. Cherryh, Charles de Lint, Elizabeth Moon, Jennifer Roberson, Diana L. Paxson, Lawrence Schimel, Esther M. Friesner, Josepha Sherman, Lawrence Watt-Evans, Deborah J. Ross, Charles Saunders, Lois Tilton, Syne Mitchell, Laura J. Underwood, Lisa Silverthorne, Dave Smeds, Jo Clayton, Patricia Duffy Novak, Mary Soon Lee, Lee Martindale, Dorothy J, Heydt, Cynthia McQuillin, Terry McGarry, Selina Rosen, ElizaBeth Gilligan, Linda J. Dunn, Jenn Reese, Rosemary Edghill, Jim C. Hines, and countless others who have gone on to become household names.
The last volume of the series, #21, was published by DAW after Mrs. Bradley's death, and the series concluded despite continued reader demand.
Now, the series resumes, with a brand-new volume of original stories expected to be published by Norilana Books in November 2007 in trade paperback format, to be titled Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress #22. The anthology will be edited by Elisabeth Waters, and will be open to author submissions starting March 23, 2007.

final submissions deadline, and format instructions, please visit the MZB Literary Works Trust website.
