The Bulwer-Lytton (Bad) Fiction Contest results have been announced!
I keep meaning to enter this, but I always forget. The winner this year was pretty awful (as it is supposed to be), but I think that any random chapter from Atlanta Nights (of which I am the “proud” author of chapter 33) has worse. :-)
(For those recent readers of the blog, the story of how the abysmally terrible, so-bad-it’s-funny Atlanta Nights came into being (as a sting against Publish America) is here.)

I'm a freelance copyeditor specializing in fantasy and science fiction. SF/F novels I have copyedited have been finalists for (and have sometimes won) the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, Endeavour, Golden Spur, John W. Campbell Memorial, Quill, Locus, Philip K. Dick, British Science Fiction, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy awards. In 2007 I became the first and only copyeditor ever short-listed for a World Fantasy Award.

How cool! I got a copy of Atlanta Nights for my birthday, it has a place of shame next to my copy of “That book with the parachuting Sherpas”, you know the one.
Maybe I’ll have to schlep my copy around for author/perp signings :)
Heh. Yeah, I’d love to get my copy signed too. :-)
I’m planning on going to World Fantasy this year! If you’re there, I’ll be very excited to have my first “signing.” :-D
I groaned so loudly over the runner-up that Patrick thought there was something actually wrong with me!
