With the submissions deadline just days away, the brewing phase for A Six Pack of Stories is nearly finished. Creative writers from several continents have put their ideas into the mash and boiled them into entertaining and artful tales that tell the story of mankind’s experience with our favorite fermented beverage. What remains now is to add some editorial yeast in fermentation and package the finished brew in paperback and electronic carriers. (Are we taking brewing/writing analogy too far? Too bad, ‘cause the connection of beer and the written word is what this is all about!)

What styles can you expect in this six pack when you pop the caps? We need a little time after the submissions window closes this Friday to make final selections, but you’ll definitely be drinking everything from humor, to horror, to literary fiction, to science fiction.

If there are any beer loving writers—or maybe writing-loving beer drinkers—out there who haven’t submitted stories yet, we’re making last call. So put the finishing touches on your masterpiece, check the submission guidelines at www.6packstories.com one more time, and send it to storybrewhouse@gmail.com by Friday, October 26th.

For those of you who aren’t word crafters, your roles in this story are yet to come, and it’s the best part! Expect to see A Six Pack of Stories on tap in the coming months. If you’ve been good girls and boys, we’ll publish in time for Santa to drop it in your Christmas stocking!
