Laying Aside a Huge Hamster, Stepping Down as Editor of The Fix

So as I rather cryptically indicated in a Facebook status update last week, I’ve got an announcement.

The Georgia legislative session has been exhausting, but we’re coming up on the final week. During this chaotic and stressful time, I’ve been doing some reflection upon managing priorities and the proportion of time I dedicate to The Fix, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to devote more time to my writing than helming The Fix allows me. So it is with both regret and sadness that I am announcing that I am stepping down as its editor.

Effective immediately, Fix-related correspondences, review material, and other Fix business should be directed to:

Postal mail:

The Fix
TTA Press
5 Martins Lane
Witcham
Ely
Cambs CB6 2LB
UK

Email: http://ttapress.com/contact/

I’ll be staying on for a little while in an advisory capacity in order to ease the transition and to help disseminate the backlog of hard copy review material that I’ve received. So I’m not disappearing completely from The Fix‘s ranks.

Any review material I have received or will continue to receive while everyone updates their address books will be forwarded to reviewers; editors and publishers need not send additional review copies.

It has been an honor and a pleasure editing The Fix and having the opportunity to work with its many talented reviewers, writers, and columnists. I’m greatly looking forward to seeing The Fix continue to flourish and publish its insightful commentary, reviews, and articles well into the future.

1st Dragon*Con 2009 Staff Meeting: Looking for 1 Reporter/Editor

The first Dragon*Con 2009 all-staff meeting was last weekend. I’m always sort of wide-eyed and sensory-overloaded at these meetings that happen during session. I’m very much an introvert, and I need to marshal energy in order to be sociable around a lot of people. And during session, all my reserves of energy are pretty much tapped out.

I do really enjoy hanging with Dragon*Con folks, but putting myself in the midst of a horde of people—composed of friends, acquaintances, and strangers—isn’t something that comes naturally for me, unlike fosteronfilm, who thrives in crowds and gets energized among throngs of people. So I hope I didn’t seem too weird.

Anyhoo, learned that I’m down one Daily Dragon staffer this year, so I have an opening for a reporter/editor. If anyone’s looking to volunteer at the convention who’s a solid writer and/or an adept copyeditor, drop me a line.

In addition to the other volunteer benefits, my staff get hours worked credit for attending (and reporting on) panels/events, opportunities to get up close and personal in one-on-one interviews with the celebs, and other perks, including press ribbons and all-access backstage passes.
