Curating an anthology is a colossal task, born of love and dedication, for editors who want to see their visions come to life. We sat down with Dahlia Adler, Shane Hawk, Terry J. Benton-Walker, and Nora Shalaway Carpenter, four amazing editors who have created anthologies in horror, young adult, and social justice. 💬 ✍️

Our conversation explores what readers should know about creating, compiling, and editing an anthology, from deadlines to submissions to the countless hours spent reading, editing, and finding authors. We also chatted about how the authors first fell in love with anthologies and their first foray into the editor role. 💚
