Dark Horse Comics announced it will publish "The Secret Loves of Geek Girls," an anthology which boasts talent like Margaret Atwood, Marjorie Liu, Kate Leth and more, in October 2016.

The brainchild of Canadian comic book publisher and editor Hope Nicholson, the anthology features a multitude of female writers and artists sharing their stories in both text and comic format, with Atwood being the most high-profile contributor on the list. According to the book's successful Kickstarter, the project "collects successes as well as embarrassments, examines the fandoms that we ship, and reassures us that no matter what we're going through or have gone through, we are never alone." The campaign earned $122,286 in total, nearly $100k over its goal of $37,000.

Award-Winning Author Margaret Atwood to Draw Some Comics -- for Real

The impressive creators list includes newcomers and veterans alike, such as Margaret Atwood, Meaghan Carter, Megan Kearney, ALB, Jen Vaughn, Meags Fitzgerald, Gillan G., Diana Nock, Roberta Gregory, Laura Neubert, Sarah Winifred Searle, Natalie Smith, Jenn Woodall, Mariko Tamaki/Fiona Smyth, Irene Koh, Fionna Adams/Jen Vaughn, Annie Mok, Renee Nault, Jen Bartel, Sanya Anwar, Kristen Gudsnuk and Sam Maggs.

"These are the stories we bond over when we get together at a comic con, play video games, and marathon 'Star Trek,'" Nicholson shared in a statement. "They are stories about the loves of our lives (both real and fictional!), and our embarrassing moments as we grow and learn more about the complex worlds of love and dating, especially as they relate to our fandom obsessions. All of the writers and artists involved -- especially me -- are incredibly excited to work with Dark Horse and bring our stories into comic and book stores worldwide."
