I'm surprised and saddened to hear that collections and anthologies perform so poorly in sales. Personally, I love 'em! What a great way to sample different writing styles, analyze what works and what doesn't, and fold that learning back into your own writing.
Both Roar and Fang are currently in limbo, which is a great shame, because they were such good gateways into publishing for short story writers.
I keep an eye on the 'open markets' section of the FWG Discord; however, as you say, the pickings can be rather slim.
Good article, Kyell. Thanks for writing it.

It’s my New Year’s resolution to get published this year but I’m struggling to edit some of my completed pieces to be readable. Any advice kyell?
