I was discussing reading short fiction over on girliejones livejournal, and it was suggested it would be useful if I kept a listing of new anthologies coming out next year. The idea was this would allow interested readers to be aware of and possibly even buy new upcoming anthologies, and might help reviewers etc. who also might need to find them.
It sounded reasonable to me, so I’ve set up a page here that will list all of the original anthologies coming out next year. I’ll do what I can to find all of the anthologies I can, but you can help. Please drop me an email at jstrahan (at) iinet (dot) au and let me know if you have a book coming out. If your anthology is all-reprint, it’s outside my remit. If, however, it contains at least some original fiction I’ll be happy to list it and to link to it.
Baen will have an original anthology Transhuman edited by Mark Van Name early next year.
On behalf of my husband, who tries to buy as many original anthologies as possible and has a rather hit-or-miss search style, thank you!
You’re welcome. If I can find time, I might also start listing (separately) single author collections that happen to have original short stories in them.
Nice work, that is a pretty long list already, most of which I didn’t know about. :)
There’ll be more. I think we usually only touch the tip of the iceberg.
We Think, Therefore We Are by Peter Crowther, another of the DAW books.
You weren’t wrong there, you have a bunch more listed than when I looked a while ago!
That Fast Ships one sounds like a pirates kind of deal?
