Anthology Builder

[davidklecha]

Nancy Fulda, who I know through the Codex Writers, has come up with one of the coolest ideas for the future of short fiction: Anthology Builder.

The idea?

Authors submit stories there–reprints, all–and readers can go there and pick up stories ala carte and build their own hardcopy anthology. I think the anthology idea is fantastic and could well help extend the life of individual short stories and allow for more word-of-mouth enjoyment of short fiction.

For now, the site is in beta, and as of right now most (all?) of the authors are Codex Writers, but I’m pretty hopeful that the idea is going to catch on and take hold and be really successful. Go check it out, I’m pretty sure you’ll dig it, too.
