Fans of your fellow contributors, those who pick up books by a particular publisher, or those readers that are partial to whatever the theme of the anthology is.<br /><br />That is an important thing to note...themed anthologies are more effective than the catch-all variety, and easier to sell as well, if you go that route.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013237354844687618.post-47259734190810973352011-02-10T09:05:59.872-07:002011-02-10T09:05:59.872-07:00Interesting post, Mary!

But for me, worth it just for the satisfaction of taking a project from concept to completion. Such an awesome experience!<br /><br />Just remember, it will take a combined effort from all of the authors to make the book a success. Particularly with a self-published endeavor, it won't go far without everyone promoting it and generating awareness.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013237354844687618.post-79642561581556255002011-02-09T17:15:23.296-07:002011-02-09T17:15:23.296-07:00Our chapter published it's first set of anthol...Our chapter published it's first set of anthologies on Amazon as a self published book.

In addition to all you've mentioned, hearing from a number of editors in an anthology makes for good writer development, as does taking advantage of discounted copies to sell - it's an effective way to learn about marketing.
