We've added a few new names to the Strange Horizons Masthead recently, and I'd like to briefly introduce them:

At the start of the year, Sonya Taaffe joined us as a Poetry Editor, which is shame only in that it means we won't be publishing any more of her poems for a while. I'm greatly looking forward to seeing how the department develops with her on board (and suggest you check out her collection Singing Innocence and Experience for a good sampling of her work).

More recently, Shelly Simon has joined us as a Webmaster, bringing experience in graphics and multimedia design that will no doubt be invaluable as we look towards revamping the website later in the year.

And last week, we welcomed two new Articles Editors, Phoebe North and Jonathan McCalmont. Neither is a complete stranger to Strange Horizons, Phoebe having worked on the magazine as a Copy Editor for some time, and Jonathan having contributed numerous reviews over the past five years. Both bring great experience and knowledge to the Articles team.

In addition to his role in the Articles Department, Jonathan will also be posting here a couple of times a month, to round up links to the most interesting discussions of sf happening elsewhere online. Also joining the rotation here will be one of the existing Articles staff, Pamela Manasco, who'll be dropping in every so often to cover a YA beat.
