WHY CONTRIBUTE TO AN ANTHOLOGY?



I am one of 12 lucky authors to be selected for the HERO LOST ANTHOLOGY.  


But why did I enter in the first place,
 and why should you do so in the future? 



 1.) YOU'RE IN GOOD COMPANY



Being selected into an anthology puts you in with good company.  

The editors want to sell this book, and only choose those stories that they believe are winning.

You will get more exposure and up your "discoverability."


 2.) YOU CAN EXPLORE NEW TERRITORY

 The genre of the anthology not your usual field?  

Great.  

You get a chance to stretch those writing muscles and roam new realms of your imagination.


 3.) SOME OF THE SPOTLIGHT IS BETTER THAN NONE AT ALL


Gaining publicity is never a bad thing, and a good anthology can get that for you. 

It can even get new readers for your old books.


4.) NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

While you’re building relationships with other contributors, 

you’re also building relationships with valuable people in an industry 

who can be a friendly face when you’re on your next project.


5.) BUT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY?

When a publisher's editors are considering your next submission, 

a recent book is always good to have on your resume.

The anthology markets you to both readers and potential publishers.


I hoped that helped you a bit and don't forget to visit the HERO LOST WEB PAGE!

  1. Hi Roland - I can see the advantages ... and you keep writing while the anthology is published and promoted ... and there are other authors in your same world helping out ... they do definitely appear to be a good idea for aspiring writers ... cheers Hilary
