In this workshop, participants will learn all about producing anthologies, ranging from creating a pitch to entice a publisher to self-publishing an e-book. The workshop will cover anthologies of all-original stories and reprint anthologies. Attendees will learn:
- What does it take to be an editor?
- How to create a killer proposal and get it to the right people.
Should you consider crowdfunding? - The ins and outs of contracts for yourself and with your authors.
- When and how you should pay your contributors and how to handle royalties.
- Choosing a submission plan, such as invitation only or open call for unsolicited submissions. How much of the layout and cover will you be responsible for or have input on?
- Choosing and buying reprints for a “best of” anthology.
- Editing a reprint anthology of classic stories and navigating copyright and public domain.
All participants will receive in advance a free PDF copy of Lisa's self-published anthology
Tales of Dread.
