American spelling: to compile or collect pieces of literature into an anthology; to select and arrange literary works.
From 'anthology' + '-ize' (American suffix for making or turning into). American English standardized this form with '-ize' instead of British '-ise'.
Anthologizing is one of the most overlooked forms of literary power—quiet editors in publishing houses decide which unknown poets or overlooked stories get a second chance at readers decades later.
