I've seen JJA's name... Now where was it? Oh yes! On rejection slips!

He does edit some of the better anthos, and I think he's a great hoice for a Q&A session.

If you like, I'll ask why he keeps rejecting that Gustavo bloke ;)

[bondo_ba]

Better not. I might want to actually sell him something one day!

I think I've aquired a few rejection slips from him. Not sure if he even reads past the first paragraph.

I've heard he has a checklist of names of people who wrote bad submissions.

If he sees a story from someone on the list, he not only rejects it out of hand, he circulates your name to all his editor friends with a warning not to bother reading your work.

That's why I always submit under an alias - usually something like Neal, or Gustavo :P
