The Ladies and Gentlemen of Fantasy is a unique anthology that focuses as much on the writing and storytelling, as it does on the authors who contribute. Each of the five Ladies and five Gentlemen in every edition will get 13,500 words of writing, divided however they wish: poems, flash, short stories, and an in-depth biography, complete with several photos. Each contributor's segment in the publication is as unique as they are.

 

The Ladies and Gentlemen of Fantasy comes out in on April 30th, each year. The Ladies and Gentlemen of Fantasy (year) in print and Kindle format.

 

The Ladies and Gentlemen of Fantasy is self-published through createspace.com by dark fiction writer, and Word Weavers co-founder, Jennifer L. Miller, who also seeks out the contributors, collects and compiles their work, edits, and formats all the versions of the LGOF.

​

Miller first conceived the idea as the Ladies and Gentlemen of Horror in 2007, and as it was received well by writers and readers alike, she continued in 2009. In 2009, due to personal issues, Miller handed the publication off to an independent publisher who has since gone out of business. She requested the rights back in 2010, and the publisher granted them.

 

From late 2009 to 2012 Miller took a hiatus from writing. In late 2012, Miller contacted all of the previous contributors to the LGOH Anthology to inform them of her intent to continue the anthology. As a result, some of the contributors to the now out-of-print 2009 version are contributors to the 2013 version.

 

After completing the 2013 LGOH, Miller decided to do a fantasy version. The 2014 Ladies and Gentlemen of Fantasy was to be the first edition of many. However, due to lack of interest, Miller did not put out a Fantasy version from 2015-2017. However, the 2018 Ladies and Gentlemen of Fantasy has kicked off with a full roster.
