QuarantineFiction is a new initiative aiming at reducing lockdown stress and anxiety with the help of writing. Write a story, share with your friends and support a good cause of helping children who have been affected by COVID-19.
I have some writer friends, and I know that it can be surprising how important the editing of the manuscript is. Are the writers of the stories responsible for this, or will you do this part?
@anna_marie_claire Hi, thanks for the good question. We are taking care of the editing and publishing, both in case of QuarantineFiction and other books from ForgeFiction.

Thanks guys, a great initiative. From what I understand, this is a website, do you also plan to add a mobile app?
@russell_bradley Hi, thank you for your comment. ForgeFiction is currently available only as a website, but we are working on having an iOS/Android app as well. This will be especially useful for reading on the platform.

I have a question about Forge Fiction. Can you tell more about it? Do you create a community of writers?
@mateo_velez Hi there, thanks for your interest in ForgeFiction! While creating communities for writing is our primary goal, it’s not aimed solely on writers, but more on people who have a passion for good stories and worldbuilding. We are helping them to combine their skills and creativity to write stories together.

Awesome! I bet many people will join. Excited to see the book. Do you already know when it will be available and how much it will cost?
@amber_tang Hello, nice to hear you are interested. The submissions will be over at the beginning of June, and the book will be published in the following couple of months after that. It will be available on Amazon for a price somewhere between $5-$10 for the ebook, and around $15 for the paperback.

This looks really cool, I can't wait to contribute! How will the works for the book be selected? And will the other works be released in any way as well?
@julia_wang2 Hello, thanks for your awesome feedback, I hope to read your contributions soon. We will go through all the contributions and select the best ones, based on the quality of writing and plot, and also taking into account the community feedback. None of the works will be lost, we will keep all of them in digital format on the website, open for reading for everyone.
