@mcahogarth Fair enough. I can't say I fully understand. I know I have opinions that it would be imprudent to share, but I don't care. My position is that SFWA has great potential to help writers and it's easy to volunteer. My main problem with Dave is he doesn't acknowledge the good stuff.

@mcahogarth Recently SFWA went head to head with the new publisher of Analog, Asimov's, & F&SF about their contract, filed amicus briefs about the Anthropic Settlement, participated in the Copyright Office's review of the Copyright Claims Board. It also reviews contracts for non-members.

@ian_snow @Nightwolfwriter @NathanTheAuthor @sfwa It depends on how long you're going back. Although SFWA used to publish other anthologies, such as the Grand Masters and SFWA European Hall of Fame, there haven't been any for decades, and the only annual ones have been the Nebula Awards Showcases.
