This Week's Guest ... Karen S. Conlin
This week's special guest is editor and project manager Karen S. Conlin, who was an early developer of the Forgotten Realms. The show will be released on Wednesday, May 22 at 6pm Pacific.
Karen S. Conlin was an editor and Creative Director at TSR for more than a decade. She was integral to shaping the Forgotten Realms product line, as well as Marvel Super Heroes and the Amazing Engine games. Her company, Grammargeddon LLC Editing Services, works exclusively with independent authors, mostly of the speculative fiction genre. In 2018 she won the Robinson Prize (presented annually by ACES: The Society for Editors to an individual who "exemplifies excellence in copy editing").
Unlike most weeks, this episode has been pre-recorded (while Stan! is away attending MisCon), but it will still be released on YouTube at the usual time—Wednesday at 6pm Pacific.
Subscribers to this newsletter were invited to attend the recording in a live chat room. If you’d like that opportunity in the future, make sure that you’re subscribed.
During the recording, Stan! worked on a cartoon homage to the 1989 Spelljammer boxed set, with a cover painting by Jeff Easley.
Remember, you can always watch this and any other episode on demand over at Stan!’s YouTube channel.
