Episode 265: Things I've Learned Organizing an Anthology
Notes: This episode serves as a sort of post mortem in real time of Fable’s recent experience teaming up with another author to create an anthology that included work from many other authors. In this conversation, she shares experiences and lessons learned, different ways of looking at things that have helped her navigate challenges that arose, and new practices that she intends to lean on if she does any future anthology projects. But, also, this conversation can be useful for those considering participating in future anthologies and those thinking of leading them to look at the experience from both perspectives, and find ways to help strengthen the initial handshake at the beginning of a project so that expectations are as clear and well communicated as possible.
