In high school, I decided one day that I wanted to be an editor and a publisher instead of just a writer – that I wanted people to submit stories to me so I could collect them and put them online for public consumption. Even better, I wanted to do that once a month for a whole year, putting out twelve anthologies of great fiction. I didn’t know much about the publishing industry, but I had enough acquaintances to find the right tools, and wound up with a lot of help. I reviewed hundreds of stories and publishing all twelve collections on schedule, and I learned a lot about editing, formatting, and managing big projects because of it.
The full anthologies, a total of over 300,000 words, are still available for free here.
