Ten Fiction Editors Interviewed

[mabfan]

I suspect most of the people who read my blog are probably already aware of this, but in case not...

Jeremy L.C. Jones interviewed ten editors of short fiction, including Patrick Neilsen Hayden, Shawna McCarthy, John O'Neill, Cat Rambo, Mike Resnick, Stanley Schmidt, Jason Sizemore, Gordon Van Gelder, Sheila Williams, and Ann VanderMeer. The interview has been published by Clarkesworld Magazine at the following link:

The Story Is All: Ten Fiction Editors Talk Shop.

It's a very good piece, with a lot of useful information for any writer trying to place a story with any of the editors interviewed.

I haven't dug into the newest Clarkesworld, so thanks for posting the link. That was quite an informative interview; multiple perspectives is always makes for a good interview read.

Snurched it and posted at my LJ, too.

I was struck by this comment from Shawna McCarthy:

"I believe that genre fiction should be held to a standard every bit as high as mainstream fiction," said McCarthy,..."

She holds "mainstream fiction" in higher esteem than I do.
