Happy Wednesday, readers, writers, and shark fans! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! At the same time, I know sometimes I need a little bit of a pick-me-up around the middle of the week, so in case you’re feeling that way today, I’m happy to share some great news! Lit Shark’s Best Of 2023 Anthology, our first anthology to date, is now available to purchase in paperback and hardcover editions.
Like all of the issues of Lit Shark Magazine, a lot of love and thought went into this anthology, and I’m especially proud of the growth that is evident in these pages. In Lit Shark’s first year, over 1,200 submissions were received, and of those 1,200+, fewer than 300 pieces were selected. For the anthology, we selected our 50 favorite pieces from the year (as our “old” pieces) and invited those 50 writers to submit a “new” piece to appear alongside their “old” piece. With that, we give you, “Something Old, Something New, Something to Sink Your Teeth Into.” I hope you love it as much as I do!
Welcome to Lit Shark’s Best Of 2023 Anthology!

Available Now in Paperback and Hardcover Editions
To honor this special occasion, Lit Shark has made its Best Of 2023 Anthology available in paperback and hardcover editions. These are the same size as the issues of the magazine (6×9 inches) and are both in matte, wrap-around covers.
Interested in a Preview First? Or an E-book Edition?
In case you’re interested in an e-book edition instead of a print edition, I’m happy to tell you that an e-book edition of the anthology, as well as all of Lit Shark Magazine‘s issues, will be available in the next few weeks! It’s been on our to-do list for a minute, and we’re excited to finally see it through!
As for a preview of the anthology, you can find a segment of the book here, and if you’re willing to do some digging, you can also go back to the issues of Lit Shark Magazine to read all of the “old” pieces contained in the collection. If you’d like to read the “new” pieces and enjoy the artwork, there are paperback and hardcover (and future e-book) editions to choose from!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
To all of you who have supported Lit Shark, as always, thank you. It’s been a labor of love, wonder, excitement, and simply being humbled at every turn, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m so excited to share this anthology with you, as well as the many more projects we have coming in 2024 and beyond!
