And Now Asimov's?
20/04/2004 . Source: Jessica Martin 
Not to be outdone by Interzone magazine's David Pringle leaving, Asimov's magazine's Gardner Dozois says 'ciao baby' too. Well now, there must be something in the water in the taps of the magazine publishing world.
Not content with seeing Interzone's founder and main brain David Pringle leave the UK's biggest SFF magazine, the U.S. science fiction magazine 'Asimov's Science Fiction' is now also saying goodbye to its editor of nearly twenty years, Gardner Dozois.
Apparently Gardner is downshifting to focus more on his own career as a scribe (unlike David Pringle, he will still be hanging around in a more limited capacity to advise the new Editor, Sheila Williams).
He posted a message on the Asimov's BBS which commented:
"Well, after almost twenty years of reading manuscripts all day, from the time I get up in the morning until the time I go to sleep at night and the manuscript drops from my nerveless fingers and thumps on the floor, it's time to scale back. I want to go out while I'm still on top of my game, before editing the magazine become a chore rather than a pleasure, and before I become burnt-out and cynical. I'd also like to be able to pursue other projects, including perhaps finding the time to get some of my own writing done."
Gardner has won more genre awards than we care to count during his time as Editor at the venerable Asimov's. Hope it all works out for you, Gardner.
