Masques
The Canberra Speculative Fiction Guild puts out anthologies every now and again. This is a wonderful learning experience for writers, because we learn about the trade and how stuff operates. I got to learn a lot more than I expected with Masques. I now know I can edit (woohoo!) and that I can be impressively bossy. I learned just how many hiccups there can be between the beginning of a process and an anthology. It was the most amazing roller-coaster ride. I was able to work with some fascinating authors. I planned to get back on the ride the moment I found a publisher that wants me and a dream I want to see shaped by others' writing. The publisher (Eneit Press - the same small press that fell in love with Life through Cellophane) found me and now Baggage has joined Masques. I still love that cover. Mik Bennett was nominated for a Ditmar for it. He made it out of found items, trashed items and stray bits and peices from my craft box. No-one has asked me any questions about it, however. I have not a single addition to my little FAQ file from this book. I guess this is a good thing: it stands by itself. |
