Anthology Descriptions should provide a fun, compelling overview of your final product. This is the piece that consumers read as soon as they open up their Anthology.

On the Web and mobile apps, the Anthology Description appears at the top of the Anthology home page.

Below are some description examples from real anthologies published on BiblioBoard. There isn't a length requirement, but you can see here that they are all a brief paragraph in length. A good rule of thumb is 80 to 100 words. It's a good idea to include references to specific titles or pieces of content contained within your Anthology.
