Shining Moon Episode 21: Editors and Editing III

Hello, and welcome to Shining Moon: A Speculative Fiction Podcast, Episode 21. Today we’ll continue our series by asking what it takes to be a magazine editor in this day and age—particularly when your magazine has a message and a role to play in the world at large. We’ll discover the process that takes hold of your story from the moment you click the ‘submit’ button till the moment it’s published. And we’ll talk about the biggest challenges facing editors today. Katrina Archer is an author of science fiction, fantasy, and romance. A former software engineer, she has worked in aerospace, video games, and film, and is the publisher of speculative climate fiction magazine Little Blue Marble. She can operate almost any vehicle that can’t fly, doesn’t believe in life without books or chocolate, and with her spouse puts up with the antics of a sweet potato and a chaos goblin masquerading as cats.Story referenced in this episode: "You Are My Endling," by Julie Reeser at the Little Blue Marble Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/posts/you-are-my-by-82622025 .Katrina Archer can be found at @katrinaarcher.bsky.social; the magazine can be found at https://littlebluemarble.ca"Don't tell me that the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." -- Anton Chekov Piano music for closureThank you for listening to Shining Moon!
