It's going to be hard to be business-like about this one: Jim is one of my oldest publishing friends (I just had lunch with him this afternoon!), and I'm thrilled for his new job. But, let's try to do this in the appropriate news-y tone.

Jim Minz will be joining Baen Books as a Senior Editor in the near future, and will be moving to the Wake Forest, North Carolina area to join the Baen offices there. In his new position, he'll also work on ebook and subsidary rights projects for Baen. Minz was formerly an editor at Del Rey Books, and, prior to that, held various editorial positions at Tor.

SFBC extends our heariest congratulations to Jim Minz...he'll even be at our table this evening at the Nebula Banquet.
