Change of Time for Gathering The 3rd annual Grannie Annie Gathering on June 4, 2011, has been changed from our traditional 2:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. due to a Cardinals home game, just a few blocks away, that is scheduled for 3:10. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our hope is that the earlier starting time will allow you to avoid traffic backups on your way to the Gathering and to easily find a parking spot near Left Bank Books . . . and, if you're so inclined, to enjoy the game! Please scroll down for more details about the event.

More details will be posted nearer to the date, but if you are planning to take part, please reserve your spot in the program as soon as possible. While authors and artists published in any volume of Grannie Annie are invited to take part, please understand that due to time limitations preference will be given to authors and artists published in this year's anthologies.
The Selected Stories! Click here for a list of the stories to be published this year! When locating a story, please note the author name and state/country in addition to the story title, as The Grannie Annie sometimes receives two stories with the same title. This year The Grannie Annie is publishing more stories in more ways than ever before!
Congratulations, authors!
