Oh, oh, oh. Sorry, I missed that part. Not being subtle, I invariably miss subtlety. They don't make market calls. They invite. For the most part. There are two types of anthologies. Those edited by the editors in house, and those co-edited.
Misty's anthologies are done this way: They handle all the paperwork and payments, etc.; she handles the edits and story approvals. When Pamela Sargent did the CONQUEROR FANTASTIC anthology, it was the same: She was responsible for all submissions -- so they went to her directly -- and all editing; they were responsible for all the paperwork, payments, contracts, etc.
There is no specific call; each anthology differs, depending on who the editor is. When Mike Resnick was doing a lot more anthologies than he does now, he was entirely responsible for who wrote for him as well.
