you can read featured short stories and critical reviews as well as see some of
the best of what we find from around the web and other regions of the Liberty
Island ecosystem. It’s divided into three major sections: Top of the Page
(Featured Stories, Island Feed, and Captain’s Blog); Newly Published (most
recent short fiction and other works); and Liberty Island TV (video, podcasts
and other cool multimedia).

Open Range: As the name implies, this is the Wild West of
Liberty Island, where anyone who wants to can publish their work. Here you’ll
find stories by both new and established writers ranging from best-selling authors to your kid’s English
teacher. You’ll discover works in progress and excerpts from already-published
novels. Read, rate, comment … and click through to learn more about the writer
or buy their books at Amazon. The stuff that’s rated highest here gets voted up
to the Liberty Island homepage.
Captain’s Blog: The place where Liberty Island staff post news
and links to cool stuff on and off the site.
Island Feed: New posts on Open Range, Captain’s Blog and other
content sources on the site appear in the Feed, which updates regularly.

many parts of the site are still in development. Click here for the latest on
