I got some very surprising news this week: I am a finalist for the Locus Award for Best Editor!
Just look at this amazing list:
- Neil Clarke
- Ellen Datlow
- Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki
- Arley Sorg & Christie Yant
- Jonathan Strahan
- Lynne M. Thomas & Michael Damian Thomas
- Sheree Renée Thomas
- Ann & Jeff VanderMeer
- Wendy N. Wagner
- Sheila Williams
The people on this list edit some of the most exciting and critically important publications on the planet. Several of them are editors who I’ve dreamed of working with my entire career, and some are newer editors whose work is pushing the industry to new and thrilling heights. I don’t know how my name can possibly belong up there with theirs, but it is an incredible honor.
