I’m afraid I’ve continued to guess at categorising contributors as ‘male’ or ‘female’. This is definitely incorrect, and not something I plan to continue if the anthology series continues and if I continue to post these numbers. However, it’s worth giving Emily Berry credit for apparently avoiding a majority male contributors, and it’d be a shame to not acknowledge that.
