Bradley was the editor of the long-running ''[[Sword and Sorceress series |Sword and Sorceress]]'' [[anthology]] series, which encouraged submissions of fantasy stories featuring original and non-traditional heroines from young and upcoming authors. Although she particularly encouraged young female authors, she was not averse to including stories from men in her anthologies. [[Mercedes Lackey]] was one of many authors who first appeared in the anthologies. Bradley also maintained a large family of writers at her home in [[Berkeley, California]]. Following Bradley's death, the anthology was edited by Elizabeth Waters and continued until 2019.<ref>{{cite web |last=Sutherland |first=Doris V. |title=A Tarnished Legacy: The End of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress |date=24 December 2019 |url=https://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2019/12/a-tarnished-legacy-the-end-of-marion-zimmer-bradleys-sword-and-sorceress/ |access-date=18 March 2023}}</ref>
