Rogue Artists, edited by E.D.E. Bell: spec-fic, anthology (n.b. The sponsoring event disinvited us from publishing the 2023 anthology on the primary basis of learning about our editorial process, so recognition for this title would be especially meaningful to validate the benefits of sensitivity review in event collections.)
