'Collection' is a broad category which includes 'anthology'. If you gather several stories in a book, it's a collection, regardless of the number of authors involved. Only if the stories are by multiple authors, it's an anthology. So, an anthology is a collection, but not every collection is an anthology. While most chapters in this guide apply to either, some equip you with the specific skills you need as an anthology editor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRayne Hall has worked in publishing for 40 years, and during this time she edited many anthologies - some in the employ of publishing houses, others for her my own publishing business, Rayne Hall Ltd - and also collections of her own works. ln this guide, she shares her experiences so you can learn from them without needing to make your own mistakes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rayne Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8858157370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798858157373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Rayne Hall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45478460326143,"sku":"9798858157373","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3feef45-16d9-4aa4-884c-12a6e796c813.jpg?v=1715935178","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/publishing-story-collections-and-anthologies-rayne-hall-9798858157373","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
