Shimmer
The wonderful and ever charming Mary Robinette Kowal has made it official: she is passing on the duties of art director for Shimmer Magazine to me.
I'm honored. My big feet would never fit into Mary's stylish slippers, but I'll do my best to maintain a high quality of design and art direction. Since I've been a professional graphic designer for over 35 years, the actual production will be nothing new. Art directing illustrators will be the fun part (I've done that my whole career as well, just never for a speculative fiction magazine).
I'll continue to illustrate a story myself when the mood strikes, so I can keep that fun job, too. I just won't be able to submit fiction... Oh well.
For any illustrators out there who read my blog (any of my fellow Illustrators of the Future winners) here are the guidelines:

Contact me if you're interested. Anyone else feel free to pass the word.
Oh, and you writers: Shimmer is open for fiction submission again.
