Anthologies: A Fast-Track to Publication or a Creative Dead-End?
Anthologies seem like a quick way to get published—but are they really the best move for your writing career? ????
With more and more authors being invited to contribute to anthologies, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype. But before you sign that contract, ask yourself:
✅ Who really benefits from this anthology—you or the readers?
✅ Will it elevate your brand, or are you just adding another book title to your name?
✅ Are you getting real support from the lead author and publisher, or are you on your own?
In this replay, we break down the pros, cons, and red flags of anthology publishing, so you can make an informed decision about whether it’s the right move for you.
This session is perfect for writers who want to:
✨ Understand the true value (or risks) of anthologies.
???? Learn how to evaluate anthology opportunities before committing.
???? Avoid publishing mistakes that could harm their reputation.
???? Decide if they should contribute to an anthology or publish solo.
7 Critical Questions to Ask Before Joining an Anthology:
1️⃣ Who is the real audience for this book, and how will it serve them?
2️⃣ How much involvement will you have in the publishing process?
3️⃣ Are you writing for impact, or just to add another book to your name?
4️⃣ What kind of support is being offered by the lead author and publisher?
5️⃣ Does the publishing quality align with your brand, or could it damage your reputation?
6️⃣ Will you get proper credit as an author, or be buried in the fine print?
7️⃣ What’s the real return on investment—financially, strategically, and personally?
???? Keep your momentum going!
