Welcome back Wannabes and Creators to another episode of The Complete Creative. I'm changing up the show notes this week. I've been having my editor write these notes for the past few weeks, but this week I'm back at the helm. In two weeks my biggest project of the year launches, the second volume of my epic anthology series, Cthulhu is Hard to Spell. 

Because of that, I've got anthologies on the brain, and I'm going to be talking about them a lot in the next month. This week, I'm talking to Terry Cronin, editor of The Healing, which is live on Kickstarter right now. 

The Healing link

Terry Cronin is a writer, filmmaker, and the creator of the Horsepower G comic book. He is also the writer of The Skinvestigator novel trilogy, along with the editor of The Healing, An unforgettable superhero comic tale by a collaborative group of 10 writer/artist teams each telling a chapter of the story. It's an anthology series, but Terry had a huge part in forging the overall story, providing beat sheets to each creator, and pairing them up with superstar artists like, Larry Waits, Barry Kitson, Lee Oaks, Sergio Cariello, Ben Herrera, and more.

We dug deep on the process of creating an anthology in this episode, from finding artists to hiring writers to how to write a good piece of short fiction. Listen to this one if you want to learn:
