In reply to Barbara Becc. Also, one more point, if you click the link you should see all those details on the anthology page.

In reply to Barbara Becc. Barbara, thanks for your comments. The anthology will publish ebook and paperback. It won't be publishing audiobook. I will be covering the cost of editing and the cover out of my own pocket at a loss to myself. Any earnings will be distributed between the contributors—percentages to be finalized once I know how many authors will be in the anthology. Once the book is published you can do with your story as you see fit. There's no exclusivity here.

I think there needs to be more information about rights management for this anthology.

Draft2Digital has ebook, paperback, and audiobook rights, which of these are we giving permission to and for how long is our work tied up in these publishing rights?
When and how are the rights to our stories returned to us so that we can publish them independently?

How is the cost of publishing covered? Will that cost be taken from the profit first?

I love this idea but we authors need to be more informed about the rights to our work.
