Itâs been a fun journey, and itâs all due to the help of our terrific editorial and production team: Acquiring Editors Barb Goffman, Michael Bracken, Paul Di Filippo, Darrell Schweitzer, and Cynthia M. Ward brought in some amazing authors over the years, and the editorial team handling submissions through the submissions portal at blackcatweekly.com (Thomas A.
