    Thanks for visiting and commenting! I'll add Mr. Walters and a link to his webpage straightaway.

    Not only did I receive several rejection letters from Mr. Scithers, but I also had the opportunity to interview him along with my publishing partner Joe when Asimov's was just getting started and still located in Philadelphia.

    George was an excellent subject and provided us with a load of insight into the editorial process, the life of a BNF (and PRO) and entertained us as well. He was a gracious host and a pleasure to visit with.

    For a brief period of time - and all entirely due to George - the Philadelphia area was the science fiction world's mecca, and it was right in my backyard!

    The post mentioned writers George published, but not one of his greatest contributions to the arts: he gave a home to the artwork of one Bob Walters, who would go on to become a highly regarded dinosaur artist. (If you look in the pages of early Asimov's, you'll see many of Bob's pieces used as filler - including dinos). You can see his works here - http://www.dinoart.com/

    Specific criticisms of rejected (and for "if you fix this, we we'd like to see this again) stories is easy with a word processor with lots of macros. I used one with almost 36 macros.

    The amateur magzine was /Amra -- Sword & Sorcery/.

    I'm delighted with this entry in Squidoo!!
