Nemonymous is a publication that labels itself a "megazanthus" (a portmanteau word combining magazine and anthology), which publishes short fiction. It is published in the United Kingdom and edited by British writer D.F. Lewis.
This publication is distinctive in that all stories are published anonymously, with the identities of contributing authors being normally withheld until the following issue, an arrangement intended to temporarily strip the reader of any prejudices surrounding the author's name (including popularity, gender and place of origin), and thus levels the playing field for the writer.[1]
The first issue of Nemonymous was a biannual magazine subtitled A Journal of Parthenogenetic Fiction and Late Labelling, appeared in November 2001. Ten issues have been published through July 2010, reportedly the final issue.[2]
Nemonymous has published fiction by authors including Scott Edelman, Terry Gates-Grimwood, Rhys Hughes, Bob Lock, William Meikle, Reggie Oliver, Steven Pirie, Ekaterina Sedia, Steve Rasnic Tem, Lavie Tidhar, Jeff VanderMeer and Tamar Yellin.
