anthologists

Literary selection makers

People who compile anthologies—curated collections of writings, usually by different authors.

An anthologist selects poems, stories, essays, or excerpts and assembles them into a single volume, often organized around a theme, period, or genre: The anthologists chose pieces that represented the full range of Harlem Renaissance poetry.
