Writing for anthologies

If you’re not sure how to go about submitting a short story to an anthology, Huskyteer has a great article here that goes into what the process is like:

(And while it’s written with furry anthologies in mind, the process of publishing a short story with a magazine or anthology outside the fandom is pretty much the same. The only thing I would quibble with is that, in my experience, most places don’t want to see a synopsis of a short story in the cover letter; they want the work to speak for itself.)

Thanks for posting that!

This is a great post, and I have one small thing to add. Writing short stories is a great way to practice your writing before you decide to go ahead and write a novel.
