Further to this article, in which Warren Lapine announced he was looking to take on some acquisitions editors, we received the following today:
“Wilder Publications is pleased and excited to announce that Marty Halpern has accepted a position as a freelance Acquisitions Editor for Wilder Publications genre imprint, Fantastic Books. Marty brings close to a decade of editorial experience with him. He has twice been nominated for the World Fantasy Award, bringing the number of World Fantasy Award nominees currently on staff to two. Books edited by Marty have won the Hugo Award, World Fantasy Award, and have been selected for Publishers Weekly‘s Best of the Year List.”
Halpern also works with Golden Gryphon Press (which resulted in the WFA nominations), Night Shade Books, and Tachyon Publications. Most recently, he was gathering suggestions for a first contact anthology.
