About Earthbound Echoes
Who We Are: A Confluence of Worlds
Welcome, intrepid explorer, to Earthbound Echoes—a sanctuary where the tangible meets the transcendent, where fact marries fantasy. Directed by Andrew M F Grafton, we are less a publication and more an odyssey, your cartographer in navigating the universe's expansive tapestry.
Here you will find our long-form fiction publications, which will be serialized and released weekly. For details on our release schedule, please refer to the dedicated schedule post pinned to the home page. Additionally, we will share short-form non-fiction essays offering insightful analysis of current and relevant topics, reflecting Andrew’s extensive background in International Studies and Political Science. These essays will explore various global affairs and socio-political themes, providing you, our readers, with thought-provoking content grounded in our academic expertise and diverse life experiences. Stay tuned for these engaging literary journeys!
Full versions of each story will be made available for download here, in PDF and EPUB format, as soon as serialization finishes.
Open to All, Supported by Readers
In the spirit of unfettered storytelling and the belief that narratives should roam as freely as the thoughts that inspire them, I have made a commitment: every chapter, every story, every fragment of imagination that finds its home on "Earthbound Echoes" will remain accessible to all. No content shall ever be hidden behind a paywall, because stories are meant to be shared, not shelved.
However, the quill is mightier when supported by its readers. "Earthbound Echoes" thrives on the generosity of its community—the readers, dreamers, and believers in the power of serialized fiction. This Substack is wholly reader-supported, ensuring that the tales spun here can continue to touch the hearts of all who wander through its pages.
If the stories you find here brighten your days, if the characters become your companions, and if you believe in supporting the arts and the vision of a world where literature is liberated from restrictions, your donation is immensely appreciated. It fuels not just the craft, but the very essence of this endeavor.
To those who wish to contribute, your support is the ink in my pen and the light on my desk. It's more than a donation—it's a statement that stories matter, that creativity is a communal feast, and that together, we keep the fires of imagination alight for everyone, everywhere.
