Hello, and welcome to Shining Moon: A Speculative Fiction Podcast, Episode 15. Today we’ll continue our series by asking what it takes to be a magazine editor in this day and age. We’ll discover the process that takes hold of your story from the moment you click the ‘submit’ button till the moment it’s published. And we’ll talk about the biggest challenges facing editors today.
My guests this week are Stephen Granade and Cislyn Smith of Small Wonders!
Stephen Granade is a writer, editor, and XYZZY-awarded game designer whose works have appeared in Escape Pod, Baffling Magazine, and the late, lamented sub-Q. They co-edit Small Wonders, a SFF magazine for flash fiction and poetry, direct the Science Track for Dragon Con, and organized the Interactive Fiction Competition for fifteen years.
Cislyn Smith, co-editor of Small Wonders Magazine, calls Madison Wisconsin home. She's been known to crochet tentacles, write stories at odd hours, and commit wanton acts of poetry. Cislyn's poems and stories have appeared in Strange Horizons, Diabolical Plots, and Fantasy Magazine. She spends time behind the scenes at the Dream Foundry, helping creators across the speculative arts connect with resources and level up their craft. She is also co-convention chair for Flights of Foundry.
