Friends, I'm in tears over this. Sheila is the first editor I ever worked with. I was 20. She deserves better bosses than this. She and Trevor and Sheree have all proven themselves again and again to be really good and decent people in this field. MRM should not use them as reputation shields.

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

My desire to host one of these has caught enough attention that Plans(tm) are afoot. Likely in early January when we're all bummed the holidays are over and riding the high of new intentions. Possibly a week night, but more likely a Saturday, drop-in style.

I hope it works, dude. I really do. But works, for me, is ‘doesn’t grind multiple generations of staff into powder and then get one of the escapees to write a jaunty number about how that’s just how it goes.’
