Now Accepting Submissions: 2026 Utah Readers Fest Anthology 

The Utah Reader’s Fest is proud to announce an open call for short fiction to be included in a special anthology releasing exclusively at the 2026 festival this November. We welcome stories from all genres, provided they demonstrate a clear and meaningful connection to Utah. This connection may be thematic, historical, cultural, symbolic, or narrative in nature. Stories do not need to be set in Utah, but the link must be unmistakable within the work.
