About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

What an interesting set of stories!!! Once you get started with this anthology, you can't put it down. It's well written and really deeply detailed. I loved how everything came together at the end in a big way. (I won't spoiler everything) One of my favorite stories was Chance By Samantha Evergreen one of the last one in this anthology because I'm a sucker for heartbreak. I also loved reading about London as someone from the USA, at times I could actually feel like I was there in real-time with how well written it is. I highly recommend this anthology to anyone who loves something new.

Great

A surprisingly moving and emotional story. Each short follows an individual or group as they make their way to The Whistler pub in Soho. The connection isn't clear until the end but the twist was delicious and I certainly didnt see it coming!

I had so much fun working on my story and still can't believe it made it in with so many other amazing authors. I truly loved how all of our stories worked together and the ending was heart-breakingly good.

This book was enthralling, unputdownable, particularly YA author Nikki Turner's skilled and emotional contribution. A great concept, brilliantly executed. Highly readable short stories with a twist at the end. Loved it. It kept me up late – very late!
