Is there a reason you're calling this an anthology if you aren't accepting writers? My intention isn't to be rude, but I was incredibly disappointed to learn that writers cannot apply unless they know an artist. Not all of use do, and without writing, it isn't really... an anthology? It's a comic/art fanbook. Which is great! I just think the verbiage is a little misleading.

No worries, is not rude. But from my understanding and my personal experience in the industry anthologies are not writing (copy) exclusive.

Comic anthologies have been around for a very long time, Marvel and DC used to have theirs during their golden era quite often but not so much now. A lot of graphic novels and publishing houses with focus on visual stories also use the term anthology to refer to the collection of them in certain situations or themes.

So no, I do not think it's misleading but I can see why is not a common thing in fandom spaces 😊
