In this episode Mark has a round-table discussion with the seven other editors in the August 2024 WMG Publishing Anthology Workshop.

Prior to the main content, Mark shares a word from this episode's sponsor.

This episode is sponsored by Cruising Writers.

The WMG Publishing Anthology workshops help authors see behind-the-scenes on how editors compile and select stories for anthologies. This in-depth and in-person experience involves a panel of editors (for August 2024 it was a panel of 8 editors) debating the merits of stories written by the attending authors.

In this round-table discussion, Mark chats with the other editors:

• Kristine Kathryn Rusch
• Dean Wesley Smith
• Loren Coleman
• Anthea Sharp
• Chris York
• Ron Collins
• Brigid Collins

They discuss advice for writers, some of the details about the process as well as the learnings (both as writers and editors).
