Editing an Anthology

My Brighton writing group is going to publish an Anthology of work, short stories and poetry, during 2011 and I am to be an editor! The prospect of editing other peoples writing fills me with… I know I will need to tread carefully, so as not to bruise or crush my fellow writer’s egos. Some of the work is fabulous. I have outright favourites already, shocking I know. Other pieces need polishing to make them shine more brightly. This is new territory. Naturally my own work will be edited by others. I’ll let you know what progress we make. Our first editors’ meeting is yet to take place!
