Editor What Editor
Editor What Editor
When the SCBWI newsletter reports that an editor has moved to a new company, I consider it worth approaching that editor with a Query, etc. but first I want to research what books the editor has worked on to see if my MS falls within that persons tastes. I find it hit and miss when researching editor names on the web. Could you please recommend a source of information that tells what books specific editors have worked on?
I wish there was one. The editors at Candlewick have lists online of some of the books theyve worked on, and Publishers Lunch will tell you a few of the books most editors have worked on, but theres no official record or growing wiki. Editors mean to stay in the background, and we do.

Exhibitions of Virtue what are they
Exhibitions of Virtue what are they
Suppose I want to figure out whether my true belief was because of my exhibition of intellectual virtue. A prominent recent view claims that Id need to figure out whether my cognitive abilities are salient in explaining my cognitive success. Now I know what needs explained here-- my getting a true belief--but what exactly would be doing the explaining were it that I was a knower. The physical event that would be whatever I do to exhibit intellectual virtue? Would it be a mental event-- my manifesting virtue? Would it be a combination of both?

Exactly what happens when you experience a time mind sync warp
Exactly what happens when you experience a time mind sync warp
I teased you with the worst experience you can ever ... uh ... experience, and you demanded to know what happens next (by "you" I mean commenter Doug M.). So, enter the world of the time-mind sync-warp ... if you dare!!!!!
As "Anonymous" pointed out, first, Drax will "be assaulted by fists of shattered illusions and broken promises!"
Man, thats gotta suck.
But thats just the beginning! Sinister ghosts of past deeds and grim threatening spectres of future evils will then menace you! And youll be forced to relive over and over that time you dressed up as Carmen Miranda and pranced around the bedroom singing "Im A Little Teapot" just to see what it would feel like!
If you think the tough part is over, youre a fool! Not only will Thanos swallow you, but then he will create your prison, "and your prison is MADNESS!"
Luckily, it cant get much worse, can it? Well, only if you think this is better!
Remember: this story came out when Grant Morrison still thought "Sesame Street" was cutting-edge! Is this the weirdest page Marvel has ever published?
All this almost wipes out the psyche of Drax the Destroyer. Think of what it would do to your puny minds!
What have we learned? Dont piss off Thanos, obviously. And was Stan Lee just walking around the Bullpen handing out tabs of LSD? Now thats a workplace!
