4 Editors on the Realities of Building an Anthology

This was a real fun one. Bookstr asked me and three other editors about the process of creating anthologies. Maybe someday I can edit my dream anthology I describe at the end of the article… bookstr.com/article/4-ed...

Join us as four anthology editors share behind-the-scenes insights into the chaotic and creative process of curating an anthology.

Yeah, all the stories are so good in their own ways. Nice picks. Any from the second anthology?

Highly recommend reading this new study published last month when you can find the time. www.environmentalprotectionnetwork.org/wp-content/u...

Just for a quick bandage, I changed the lightning color to a near-black, so that helps a lot. I’ll look into toggles and other options when I can :) Thanks for the help and kind words

Oh ok ok I get it! I’ll do my best. Thank you 😄

Thanks for pointing that out. I love the lightning effect, but if it disturbs people’s access to reading, maybe I’ll just remove it

I do the same! Okay good to know. I tend to default linking the NWAN anthologies on my site to PRH’s landing pages only because from there it links back out to all their partners, including where I’d love readers to buy from: BookshopOrg and LibroFM :)

Thanks for sharing! I like finding the bonus things too. Accessibility settings?? I will look into this next time I’m at the computer desk!

An author website almost feels required these days, but then I feel like not a lot of folks actually visit them. Do you? What are the things you want to see on our sites? Maybe between what you expect or want and fun extra things you enjoy seeing. shanehawk.com

I realize the article is becoming paywalled for some folks. Here is what it will look like in print; it just lacks the photo of me in my horror office holding my daughter.

Amazing news to wake up to: Kimberly Blaeser’s RED ANTS is on the longlist for the National Book Award for Fiction. Was my first acquired and edited book for Counterpoint Press, and I’m so proud of Kim. Wow. Huge congrats! 🎉🍾 Preorder it here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/829198...

Have a cup or two of bone broth and maybe a glass of water. Urgent care is a good measure even though it sucks

Did you know Eden Robinson has an epic fantasy novel coming out later this month? THE SORCERESS OF SKY SERPENTS hits shelves September 29th and feels like an Indigenous Game of Thrones. Grateful to have read it early for a blurb! Preorder it today and tell your local library to order copies too.

When these wh!te men are proposing GenAI data centers on our Tribal lands, it’s just the 21st-century treaty. We bear all the risks and disruptions while they further destroy our sovereignty, our children’s futures, and The Land.

We Natives know all too well about broken promises, how signed treaties are a “treat” only for the colonizers. They were presented as mutually beneficial for the nascent fed government and Native Nations but were constantly disregarded or favored the Others.

Any Treehouse of Horror fans? Got 2 of the 6 glow-in-the-dark cups from Jack in the Box tonight. (Jack in the Box started in San Diego, but I don’t honestly know how far spread across the country they are)
