Write Night: Anthology
SHORT STORIES FROM PASSIONATE FRIENDS
In early 2023…
A group of friends began a heroes’ journey together. Their quest was to level up their writing skills through monthly gatherings, challenging each other to step outside their comfort zones through a rich variety of writing prompts.
Some random, some calculated, some improvised, all pushing each author beyond their experience into exciting new territories of creativity.
Of the wide variety of short stories written across diverse genres, each author was tasked to select their favorites from the year, to share with the world.
This is a collection of their adventures...
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Isaac G. Philips, a denizen of the imagination, has been telling stories since the day he could talk. He created countless characters from stuffed animals and LEGO figures—every last one had a backstory and narrative arc. It was only a matter of time before his dream of becoming an author was born. Homeschooling fostered his passion and instilled the self-motivation needed to be a writer. Now he is a character specialist with years of research in psychology and philosophy. Isaac works as an English teacher, writer, and editor. Above all, he follows Jesus, his creator.

Meg E.L. Marchetti was the kid who stayed up late reading by flashlight under the covers. Writing quickly became another way for her to rejoice in storytelling. She and her husband Matthew both write and enjoy being each other’s editor and encourager. Meg has several projects she hopes to publish one day including a middle grade fantasy series and a young adult realistic fiction novel. Explore more of her writing on Instagram here: @m.and.m.writes
Matthew A. Marchetti is a long-time fan of fantasy stories, such as Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn and Joe Abercrombie's First Law World. He has written fiction since 2016, when he started work on his own fantasy series called Fate of a Failed Dragon. Inspired by the emotional heights and tragic depths that stories can convey, Matthew and his wife Megan have been telling stories together ever since they were married in 2022. Matthew loves combining his love of engineering into complex magic systems and founding all his stories in the truth of the Gospel.

Jonathan M. Reichel grew up treasuring the power of parables. He believes that when well crafted, stories can uplift, inspire, and impart wisdom. When misused, stories can depress, demoralize, and confuse. That is why in 2020 he founded ‘Heroes of Providence Eternal’ – an entertainment ministry that utilizes games, stories, and community to unite people around honorable principles through grand adventure. He is actively engaged in media as a broadcast studio director, and loves movies, games, his beloved wife Heather, and adorable cat Quidix. To explore the epic games, fantasy audio dramas, and adventures he continues to create, visit: HeroesOfProvidenceEternal.com or email him at HeroesOfProvidenceEternal@gmail.com
Heather A. Machia Reichel grew up in northern Vermont with the outdoors calling her heart. She considers writing as one way of expressing her joy of being alive, and the connectedness that she feels to humanity. Experiencing an exceptional story has been something she has enjoyed her entire life, sometimes told from her father, or grandparents, or friends. She has a voracious appetite for reading, and savoring a well-crafted tale has always been something deeply important to her. She efforts to craft similar moving experiences in her own writing, and is delighted to share them with the world. She prays God's blessings upon her readers! Heather.A.Machia@gmail.com
