Despite the cry of "Anthologies Don't Sell," readers are still buying them and writers want to submit stories to them. Maybe "Why don't anthologies sell?" is the wrong question and we should be asking, "Who do anthologies sell. Feel free to leave comments, as well.

I ticked 'writers I love' but in fact I could have ticked almost any of those apart from the award-winning one, which doesn't bother me. I love anthologies: it's a way to discover new authors and to explore areas of the genre I might not usually look at, to support small presses and new voices. Anthologies were one of my key introduction points into sff, back in my teens. They make great gifts... Love them.

Exploring new genres and styles is one of the reasons I love to write short fiction, too. If I wanted to do a hard-boiled tachno-extravaganza sf novel, my editor would have apoplexy, but no one cares if I do it at a shorter length. That allows me to be interested in and explore all kinds of things, which definitely keeps my curious inner child happy.
