Obliquity

By 1231 Publishing

Twelve authors have conspired together to entertain you.

None of the stories in this collection are straightforward. Some have twists, others have hidden meanings. Some stories are heartwarming while others are designed to chill the bone. Certainly all of them fit the description of the title word: ‘obliquity’.

What does obliquity mean?
1. deviation from moral rectitude or sound thinking
(making bad decisions or not thinking clearly)

2. deviation from parallelism or perpendicularity
(not straight forward and not a linear narrative)

3. indirectness or deliberate obscurity of speech or conduct,
an obscure or confusing statement
(trickery, deception and twisty turns)

1231 Publishing

1231 Publishing began in 2015 as a micro-publisher, to assist independent authors with their projects as well as creating more opportunities for the fiction writer. 1231 Publishing has started an annual anthology project, the first to be launched in September 2016, titled 'Obliquity'. 1231 Publishing services are aimed towards two types of writers: those authors with a strict budget and who don't need the 'full publishing package' but rather a few individual services as well as a helping hand to get started, or for authors who already have experience but want to focus on their writing rather than on back-of-house tasks.
