Is it still considered an anthology if all of the short stories are written by the same writer? I've seen people call a collection of shorts an anthology when referring to both multiple writers and just one. So, does it qualify for both?

Hi Silver, and :welcome: to AW!

If all the shorts are written by the same person, the correct term is 'collection.'

If the shorts are all written by different people, it's an 'anthology.'

I see the terms used interchangeably all the time but, for the sake of accuracy, the above definitions are the right ones :)
