Every time a new issue gets published, I experience a moment of extreme panic. Broken code, unseen typos–any number of things could go wrong. Editing is not easy, but I’m very fortunate to have such stalwart and supportive co-editors, Virginia M. Mohlere and Donna Quattrone. Let it be known that they are the real good […]

A Working Holiday
Earlier this morning, I put the latest issue of Scheherezade’s Bequest online, along with about a million companion updates for Cabinet des Fées itself. I really, really wanted this to go up before I left for France, but these things can’t be rushed. In some ways I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to post […]

This post is relevant to Cabinet des Fées and Jabberwocky. Earlier this morning, I pulled out of the CdF inbox, leaving several selections tagged with “considering”.

I was asked a good question yesterday about my policies regarding slush in light of the fact that I edit two similar publications, the Jabberwocky annual anthology and Cabinet […]

telling the fairy tales
It’s all a bit hectic today, much like yesterday was and tomorrow will be. It’s all about Cabinet des Fées, which now has a Facebook page and a Twitter account and yet another new look. We’re sticking with this one. Nin and Aria have been wonderful about answering my questions, doing some hard labour and […]
