behind the scenes
Introducing the editors and contributors....
MARION ZIMMER BRADLEY, Editor and publisher of the Checklist, who
attends to such minor chores as editorial format and manhandling the
mimeograph, is by profession a writer of science fiction. Her work
has appeared in virtually every science fiction magazine on the
market. She is thirty years-old, lives in a small town in Texas, and
her other interests are Italian opera, acrobatics and mountain
climbing.
GENE DAMON, whose competent brain does the bibliographical work for the
Checklist, is in her mid-twenties, lives in the midwest, and is a
librarian; she previously worked as a book-keeper and on a large
city newspaper. Her chief interests are classical music and the
collecting of variant literature; her private library contains over
600 titles of lesbiana alone. It was the untiring, perfectionist
efforts of Miss Damon which checked every biblio reference in this
list; she also supplied a summary or precis for every title which
the senior editor had not read. In general, Damon is the brains of
the Checklist; MZB merely the brawn.
KERRY DAME, stencil-cutter, artist and printer’s devil, is in her early
twenties and lives in New England with her mother and many cats. She
is no stranger to the readers of the _Ladder_, who all know her gay,
airy cover drawings.
