My Comrades
In honor of the new Eos blog, here's a quick round-up of SFFnal publishing folks who are blogging. (Or at least the ones I know about and can remember right now.)
- The new Eos blog features editors Diana Gill and Jennifer Brehl and publicist/author Jack Womack.
- Lou Anders of Pyr
- John Joseph Adams, Slush God and F&SF assistant editor
- Douglas Cohen, another assistant editor (at Realms of Fantasy)
- Moshe Feder, one of the myriad Tor Consulting Editors
- Irene Gallo, Tor's art director
- Making Light features Tor editors Teresa and Patrick Nielsen Hayden
- Anna Louise Genoese, another Tor editor
- Paul Stevens, who is an editor at a company that starts with "T" and ends with "or"
- Liz Gorinsky, yet another Tor editor (I believe there is a secret cave in the basement of the Flatiron Building where scarily-smart young editors hatch from giant pods)
- Sean P. Fodera, rights guru does not work for Tor, but he had an office in the Flatiron Building the last time I talked to him...
- Deanna Hoak, ace copyeditor whom I am sure has worked on Tor books
- Jennifer Jackson, agent extrordinare, whose office is just a few short blocks from Tor
- John Klima, editor of the 'zine Electric Velocipede and a Secret Master of the small press, and who used to work at Tor
- Jeremy Lassen, the wild man of Night Shade Books
- Deborah Layne, publisher of Wheatland Press
- Sharyn November, who not only has the coolest James-Bond-villain name in the world, but also edits the neat Firebird line over at Penguin
- Sean Wallace, editor of the Prime imprint of Wildside
I'm sure I'm missing some people -- so who did I forget? (Any British editors blogging out there, for example?)
(Oh, yeah, there's also me.)


Comments
Thanks for the mention. For clarification, after many years as Director of Rights, Contracts and Electronic Publishing at DAW, I set up my own rights agency. The Fodera Rights Agency represents subsidiary rights (audio, dramatic, foreign, etc.) for authors and publishers. While I do work a day-job as a Contracts Manager in publishing (when you've got a family, you need benefits), I continue to represent my clients. My blog is fairly new, and I'm still working out what mix of business topics to cover.

An author and editor who was blogging back when the internet was steam powered was [and still is] Jerry Pournelle. His 'Chaos Manor' newsletter has been available online since 8 bit computers running CP/M were state of the art.

Dave:
There are probably several hundred authors who blog (and Pournelle certainly was writing online columns for years before the word "blog" existed), but this list was of people like agents, editors, and other publishing types.
I won't even try to do a list of the SFF authors who blog -- that would be a monumental task.
