Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Skyline 2017, the fourth in a series of annual publisher's anthologies produced by Cyberworld Publishing, showcases the prose and poetry talents of Central Virginia writers. The title of the anthology is taken from the Skyline Drive, the parkway skipping along the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and providing centering for the region in which the authors showcased here are living and writing. Thus far the editions have followed the seasons in cover image, with this being the summer edition. Other than the Skyline Summer contest works, there is no overarching theme for the short stories, poems, and essays in this anthology, so each can be discovered and appreciated on its own context and merits. Over half of the works found here won or placed in various Virginia regional and statewide writing contests between September 2015 and September 2016.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Skyline 2018, the fifth in a series of annual publisher's anthologies produced by Cyberworld Publishing, showcases the prose and poetry talents of writers who live or work in Central Virginia or otherwise have writing connections to the region. The theme for this edition and this year's Skyline writing contest is 'nighttime on the mountain,' which some invited authors and poets have also adopted as the setting of their pieces. There otherwise is no overarching theme for the short stories, poems, and essays in this anthology, however, so each can be discovered and appreciated on its own context and merits. Nearly half of the works found here won or placed in various Virginia regional and statewide writing contests between September 2016 and September 2017.
