Each of them will need an illustrator, and we want you to decide who they are. To this end, we have prepared a poll:

- https://forms.gle/5D41VgPVH8xpUiiC9 -

It is two-stage, and right now we would like you to submit the names of the artists you would want to see illustrate each of the stories. Detailed information is provided in the description of the poll. Best of luck!

Most of these are stories I have not read. I am looking forward to buying a copy when it comes out. As for artists, I haven't a clue as to who is able and willing. Perhaps they will submit their own names? Trying to herd too many artists might delay publication. It took Overstreet about 18 months past planned production to straighten out illustration submissions for Changeling Space Program. In the end there were eight artists credited for the 32 illustrations, I don't know how many others bowed out during the 18 month delay.
