Saints, Spells, and Spaceships Voting Instructions

We’ve come to the end of the Saints, Spells, and Spaceships contest entries. We hope you’ve enjoyed this journey through LDS speculative fiction. We hope it has made you laugh, cry, and think. We hope something has touched you and will stay in your heart. We’re still talking about the pieces over at our Facebook page, if you want to get in on the discussion.

Finally, a few reminders before you go:

Email List
If you want to keep up to date on what the Mormon Lit Lab is doing, please subscribe to our email list. It’s a good way to hear about the next Mormon Lit Blitz, as well as receiving news about our anthologies and other projects.

Book Mentoring Project
We love what people do with 1,500 words. If you enjoy the kind of literature you’ve read in the Mormon Lit Blitz, though, we hope you’ll also consider donating $5, $10, or $20 to support the eight authors currently in our book mentoring program.
