I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that I am the newest Senior Fiction Editor at Strange Horizons. I’ve been a member of the editorial team since 2011, when I came on board as a first reader, and I’ve enjoyed my work with that group immensely. I’m a 2011 graduate of Clarion West and my fiction has appeared in Futures from Nature, Ideomancer, Realms of Fantasy, Daily Science Fiction, and other venues. I’m also residential staff at the Alpha Young Writers Workshop, which is hugely energizing and lets me see the effects of changes in the genre fairly directly. Strange Horizons was one of the first places I read short fiction­­ I spent a month or two in 2002 reading the archives and have kept up fairly well since­­ and I am proud to be part of its long­standing tradition of publishing great speculative fiction that expands the boundaries of our genre.
