In many ways, an anthology is not representative, nor can it be completely
balanced or inclusive. Solicitations for stories went out in many forms, and
through many channels: e-mail broadcasts, word of mouth, flyers at conferences.
As editor, I could only work with what was offered; not everyone was willing or
able to interrupt his or her work to reflect and write. A few stories were
abandoned half-finished, or were simply not workable, or came in past deadline.
For the most part, however, once a worker committed to writing a story, he or
she stuck with it to the very end, even if this meant weeks of revision via
e-mail or over coffee in London or New York. The result is an anthology that is
gripping to read and startling in its contribution to the discourse about
humanitarian work.
