Panel Discussion: One important market for authors is the themed anthology. What are the upsides and pitfalls when submitting to this type of market? How can a theme be inspiring or frustrating, and what do you do with a themed story that is not accepted? What is the publisher’s motivation for choosing to have an anthology themed, and how do readers respond? Authors and editors from Laksa Media’s “Shades Within Us: Tales of Migrations and Fractured Borders” discuss their past and current experiences.
