teleidoplexSo, I was waiting to post anything til it was all signed sealed and delivered, but I have some awesome news. I just got hired as an assistant acquisitions editor for an academic press in Washington DC! I'll be acquiring for their anthropology list, about 30-40 titles a year to start. I'm moving to DC at the end of the month, and I start on October 1st.
So, like, whoa!
Details about goodbye parties, etc, will be forthcoming. For now, I must spin...

Date: 2008-09-05 04:29 pm (UTC)Y'know, New Jersey isn't really that far from DC. We'll have to get together. Casey and I are hosting a big Rocky Horror convention in Atlantic City (which is quite close to DC) on the 26th & 27th. If you're on the East Coast by then, you should come up and hang out with me, Casey, Patricia Quinn, and Little Nell. :)
Cheers!

Date: 2008-09-05 07:00 pm (UTC)If you need a place to crash for that weekend, I'm sure we can find you a spot. It would be great to see you, so let us know what we could do to twist your arm. Feel free to drag anyone else along with you too. It's going to be one hell of a party.
Good luck with the move!

Date: 2008-09-05 04:56 pm (UTC)Clearly you'll need to give us a full report when you visit us out in Cali next.
...which will be soon, yes? :)
Seriously, however, that's awesome. I hope that things work out perfectly. Speaking of which, did you follow up on the Strange Horizons thing?

Date: 2008-09-05 06:08 pm (UTC)I did follow-up on the Strange Horizons thing, and went through stage 2 of the process, which was basically reading and rating a selection of the slush pile. I'm waiting to hear back what comes next, but it's still something I want to do because it gives me a really good feel for the range of things being submitted (both in terms of quality and in terms of style and subject matter). Reading for possible publication (or at least, passing along to the editors) makes me read differently than reading for pleasure. So, fingers are still crossed. I'll probably announce that here too, if it comes through.

Oh, and part II of AAL will be winging it's way to you tomorrow through the internets. I know it does not need to be said, but you better not have killed a particular character.
