THE EYRIE
Who We Are & How We Do It
.....
Sometimes they don’t. (“The Quilter” in this issue was squeezed out of #326.) Sometimes things have to be re-arranged to make a two-page art spread start on the left. We may have to drop an even-numbered story in favor of an odd-numbered story. Blank pages pop up or have to be inserted, as do partial blanks at the ends of stories. That’s where the poems go, which may lead some to the canard that magazine poetry is “just filler.” Not true. We buy poems because of their merit. But we lay them out as filler, which is quite a different matter. An important use of a one-full-page poem is to make all the rights and lefts flip over until the two-page art spread comes out right.
We share tasks variously. Everyone poofreads [sic] as an issue goes together. Darrell writes the contents-page blurbs. George, whose computer and design skills (not to mention his knowledge of type) are way ahead of anyone else here, does the typesetting, although as progress forces us into newer techniques and software, the final typesetting is done with the help of John Betancourt. (We admit to being old-fashioned. We use non-Windows software whenever possible. Until a couple issues, ago, we were among the few magazine editors who still pasted up photocopies of artwork and turned in camera-ready copy to a printer. If this sounds ridiculously primitive, look back at, say, Weird Tales® #318 or so and consider the results. But today, alas, printers charge extra for the photography stage.)
