August’s Table of Contents

From the Editors

Welcome to the final month of our second year of publication — yes, September 1st is our birthday, so August 31st concludes our second year of publication and wraps up eligibility for our 2009 anthology. We’ll be having a birthday party sometime in mid-September, so if you’re in or near Vancouver, Canada, watch our forums or our Facebook page for details.

There’s no surer sign of growth for a magazine than to have the staff expand beyond essential editorial and technical functions. We are excited to welcome Kevin Young of Young Media Company to handle our marketing and public relations needs. With Kevin’s talents on our side, be prepared to watch us grow!

For Readers:

As usual, we have stories from newcomers to EDF including Polenth Blake and Petra Michiko Gentleman. We also have some familiar names reappearing, such as Gustavo Bondoni and Erin M. Kinch, and a new story by Michael Ehart, author of the all-time top-ten-listed story “Without Napier“.

For Writers:

We’re pleased to announce that not one but two new slush readers have joined our team — Elissa Vann Struth and Joe Daniels. Check out their bios on our staff page.

In terms of seasonal fiction, Halloween is only two Tables of Contents away, so get your Halloween stories to us over the next couple of days to be sure of being read in time. We’re also interested in Thanksgiving pieces at this point, and you can start sending Christmas/Hanukkah/winter holiday pieces any time now too.
