About this author

Author, editor, bibliophile, modernist, geek. Publisher at Dagan Books & comics critic at SF Signal, too. Trying to keep sleep-deprived ramblings to a minimum.


Before I can edit I story, I have to know a few things. I have to read it over to get a sense of the author’s voice (editing means making the story better, but that doesn’t include making it not yours anymore). I also need to know where the plot ends, so that I can shepherd the opening and middle bits along to their conclusion in a logical way*. But the most important part that I need to know,...

Men of Tomorrow by Gerard Jones
I couldn't get into it. The author's voice is unnecessarily pretentious, heavy-handed. He tries to elevate comics to what he seems to think is a more important stature instead of realizing that most people reading the book will already think comics a...more

On Writing by Stephen King
I've heard a lot of this advice before, mostly from people quoting King's book at me, so it didn't feel new. That's not the fault of the book, which came out a decade before I finally picked up a copy.

The biggest takeaways for me were: the importance...more

Elmer by Gerry Alanguilan
Elmer
by Gerry Alanguilan (Goodreads Author)
read in February, 2013
Gerry Alanguilan is a Filipino comic book artist and writer who’s well known as an inker for both Marvel and DC, but his indie cred extends all the way back to his first comic. That work includes Johnny Balbona, “Wasted”, “Timawa”, “Humanis Rex” and...more

Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
I gave up 2/3 of the way through. It had some good bits of worldbuilding and there was some information I'll remember when working on my own stories, but the characters were so flat, so out of date, that I lost all interest in them. Additionally, sin...more

Harlan Ellison
“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”
Harlan Ellison

Etgar Keret
“He misses the feeling of creating something out of something. That’s right — something out of something. Because something out of nothing is when you make something up out of thin air, in which case it has no value. Anybody can do that. But something out of something means it was really there the whole time, inside you, and you discover it as part of something new, that’s never happened before.”
Etgar Keret, Suddenly, a Knock on the Door

John Scalzi
“Here's a quick rule of thumb: Don't annoy science fiction writers. These are people who destroy entire planets before lunch. Think of what they'll do to you.”
