Some poor schmuck has been named series editor for Best American Fantasy 4 Larry Send a noteboard - 04/01/2010 10:07:14 PM
I've known about this the past two weeks, but had to wait until the official, official announcement was made. Due to a few deadlines looming for the anthology series creators, Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, I was asked to step in and be the series editor for Best American Fantasy 4 (estimated publication date being first quarter 2011). I said yes.

Duties will consist of reading through boxes and boxes of genre and literary magazines and journals, as well as a few original anthologies, of stories printed from May 1, 2009 through May 31, 2010. By late June, I'll be turning in a list of 75 or so short stories that are "American" (including Latin America), "fantasy," (which can be defined quite broadly), and "short stories" (under 10K words) to the guest editor for BAF4, Minister Faust. With any luck, review copies will be available before Christmas and I'll have a few to distribute.

So...anyone interested in that? Oh, and the link gives you anything you ever wanted to know about me, so please be gentle and not stalk too much :P
