Oh man, is it October already?

I'm still writing 2008 on my checks! Yeah, not even 2009... Anyway, here's a neat interview with me on the subject of Japanese science fiction in translation, and specifically all our neato books. JR: What attracted you to the ad – apart from, I assume, the idea of loads and loads of cash, like all editors get? NM: There aren’t many opportunities to run one’s own science fiction imprint available. For the most part, that’s not the kind of position filled by an external search—people work their way up from fan to intern to assistant latté fetcher to slush reader to editor to senior editor…and then basically your boss has to DIE to get that final job running the show.
