Up-and-coming scribes
Emerging authors are writers in the early stages of their careers, typically having published little or gaining their first recognition.
The term implies talent and momentum—these aren't merely unpublished writers but ones beginning to surface in the literary world: The anthology features emerging authors alongside established names.
