Meet the New Managing Editor of Escape Pod
Filed Under: Podcast, SF Business, SF Podcasting, Speculative Fiction
Big news of the year so far– recently, Steve Eley of Escape Pod asked me if I would like to come on board as managing editor of Escape Pod. I would handle story selection for the most part (with his input), and the behind the scenes production pipeline. He would still host the show and do readings and be the aweome guy that he is.
So I jumped at the chance. I consider Escape Pod to be the most important thing happening in SF short fiction today. It reaches audiences that the print magazines never reach. I am sad to lose a reprint market for my own work, but I feel I can make a big impact with Escape Pod on the genre as a whole.
I ask your patience as I sort out the slush pile. It’s fairly deep and backlogged, and I will be tackling it as quickly as I can. If you’re thinking about submitting something, wait 2 weeks, and then fire away.
The production pipeline is also very short. I am going to be grabbing and producing a couple of stories within the next several days. If you are interested in narrating and can help with a super-rapid turnaround time while I get ramped up, and have done this before before or even if you just want to get started, drop me a line in the comments. Cat Rambo, I’m looking (with pleading eyes) at you…. ;)

Congrats–I read #futurejer, been following on Twitter, and coincidentally just starting listening to Escape Pod. Great stuff. Best of luck with the slush.
