These anthologies collect Julie Smith’s contributions to multi-author mystery and crime fiction volumes published between 1990 and 2017. The list includes her work in the Sisters in Crime series, collaborative round-robin novels, noir collections, and tribute anthologies. These are separate from her editorial work on the much larger Akashic Noir series.
Smith’s anthology appearances reflect her standing in the mystery community. She contributed to Sisters in Crime 2 early in her career, participated in the collaborative novel I’d Kill For That alongside other well-known mystery writers, and had stories included in themed collections like Men of the Mean Streets (gay noir) and Mojo Rising (Southern fiction). Her contribution to Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe put her alongside other crime writers paying tribute to one of the genre’s most famous characters.
