ReplyDeleteHow are they going to be assessed anonymously? Does that mean whoever collected them from the Brigade email will then pass them onto an assessment board of some kind? Otherwise email addresses may give away identities. :P
ReplyDeleteHi Pippa. Good questions.
ReplyDeleteThe stories will be collected via the SFRpreview address, the author names removed, and the story files made available for review by the anthology team.
Thanks, Laurie. I can make sure I strip my ID out of the document.
