STAFF CHANGES: There are some upcoming staff changes at Uncanny Magazine. Poetry/Reprint Editor and interviewer Julia Rios will be leaving to explore some new opportunities after Issue 19.

“We can’t overstate how amazing her work has been for Uncanny. Julia is simply a most excellent human being, and one of the best editors in the industry. We know she will continue to do amazing things. We will greatly miss her in every possible way, though we are glad we get to keep her around for most of the year,” says Lynne M. Thomas.

Uncanny is adding two new staff members starting with Issue 19.

The new Poetry/Reprint Editor will be Mimi Mondal. Mimi is writer of fiction (Daily Science Fiction, PodCastle) and nonfiction (Uncanny Magazine) and was an editor at Penguin India and co-edited with Alexandra Pierce the upcoming Luminescent Threads: Connections to Octavia Butler from 12th Planet Press.

The new interviewer will be Shana DuBois. Shana is a writer for the Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog, nerds of a feather, and previously for SF Signal.

“Uncanny is thrilled to have both on the team. We know they will do amazing things,” says Lynne.
