For my editing of Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine (2014) Issue 59… a HUGO Nomination.

EXTREME PLANETS ANTHOLOGY

Publication 2014

I was co-editor with David Conyers and Jeff Harris for the Chaosium publication, Extreme Planets Anthology. The issue was a Science Fiction theme of planets that had extreme conditions and how life coped with them.

MIDNIGHT ECHO

I was co-editor with David Conyers and Jason Fischer for the Midnight Echo 6 Edition that was released in November 2011. The issue was a Science Fiction Horror theme.

ASIM

Since October 2008 I assisted with the production of ASIM publications – issues 38 onwards. Working with the team is a blast, and I hope I’ve made some excellent friends in the process. During this time, so far, I have edited my own Issues 43 and 52. I was also co-editor for issues 50 and 56. I also managed Subscriptions for a while, but now only look after the Website, and read slush etc… Did you know that the group have changed their name? Now they are simply the Andromeda Spaceways Magazine (no more Inflight Magazines – it was a cost cutting measure) but you can still expect the same awesome selection of stories and this continues without a hitch.
