Meet Cute: A Collection of First Encounters is a collaborative anthology of micro fiction stories.

A “meet cute” is a scene in which two characters meet in a way that is amusing, unusual, or otherwise entertaining.

After submissions close, the best stories will be chosen and published in a physical book. This project will be fully crowd-sourced and crowd-funded. A Kickstarter campaign is forthcoming. Entrants whose stories are selected for publication will receive $10 and a free copy of the final published book.

Please also contact themeetcutebook[at]gmail.com if you are interested in contributing an illustration for this project.
