Quillblog,

New faces at Q&Q

Some staffing news at Q&Q, all effective now:

  • Scott MacDonald is now news editor. Most readers will already be familiar with Scott’s work; he has been a staff writer with the magazine for four years.
  • Stuart Woods has joined as staff writer. Stuart is a former intern and has been a regular contributor to the magazine over the past year.
  • Nathan Whitlock, formerly review editor, is now Books for Young People and Last Word editor, handling the children’s review section and the regular Last Word column.
  • Steven W. Beattie has joined as review editor. Steven is a regular contributor to Q&Q and many other publications, and maintains the literary website That Shakespeherian Rag.

Q&Q has also said farewell to Susan Lawrence, our longtime Books for Young People editor. Susan is facing some health challenges and has understandably chosen to focus on her treatment, and on spending time with her husband. She has been with the magazine for 12 years – longer than almost anyone else on staff – and has been a constant positive, supportive presence. We will all keenly miss Susan’s great expertise in children’s literature, her razor-sharp editorial eye, and her inquisitive mind. But more than that, we will miss the unfailing warmth and light she has brought to the office.

  • Von: Well, that just goes to show how frivolous Ayn Rand was–her musings or writings must be equally inane.
