What if you could publish a book and build a community around your passion at the same time?
Join us at Christian Writer Con ’26 for ten speakers over to two days to fire up your writing.
On Friday at 6:30 pm ET, Vella Karman will present “Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Key Steps to Take an Anthology from Concept to Release.”
Writing can be a solitary activity.
But not all projects require you to lock yourself in an attic in the moors of Scotland, where the only other living soul for miles is a single cricket.
Anthologies are collections of short works compiled into one book. Typically, a bunch of short stories or essays, each written by a different person but united by one theme.
They’re also the perfect opportunity to collaborate with old (and new!) writer friends.
Join Vella as she delves into the nuts and bolts of the anthology production process, funny stories behind the production of Fantastical Summer, and important things to know if you want to craft your own anthology as a Christlike leader.
Want a clear roadmap with the key steps to take an anthology from idea to published book? Join us at Christian Writer Con on May 8-9 for this and nine more amazing seminars: learn more and reserve your spot here.
