Editing Science Fiction and Fantasy

Two experienced editors of speculative fiction will discuss what science fiction and fantasy can look like. You’ll learn about the overlap and blurring of borders between genres, the complex chemistry of worldbuilding, and how to decipher all this and apply it to all realms of editing. Building off your fiction editing knowledge, they’ll take you beyond castles and spaceships to the broader lands, seas, and skies of speculative fiction.

Note that this is a Monday meeting rather than our usual Tuesday.

    Genevieve Clovis

    Genevieve Clovis (she/her) is a speculative fiction editor, author, and writing coach who works with emerging authors to ensure their novels are as monstrous and diabolical as intended. True to her story-gremlin nature, Genevieve can be found lurking in her secondhand bookstore doling out books that are definitely not cursed.

  • Tanya Gold Tanya Gold

    Tanya Gold

    Tanya Gold (they/them) is a book editor, translator, and literary omnivore. They work on and devour SFF, horror, retellings, queer stories, experimental narratives, interactive fiction, and graphic novels. They also teach courses for editors and writers. It’s been suggested that they read too much for their own good. This might be true.
