Some excellent news from Jeff VanderMeer about the Best American Fantasy anthology series which he co-manages with his wife, Ann.

The guest editors for volumes 4 through 6 will be: Minister Faust, Junot Diaz, and Catherynne M. Valente.

Yep, Junot Diaz. Cat is pretty stoked about it. I’m sure the Minister is too.

What’s more:

Starting with BAF4, the series will consider stories published in English in Latin American publications, as well as translations of Latin American writers into English in North American publications.

And that means that my friends Fábio Fernandes and Larry Nolen are on board as consultant editors for the Latin American scene. Excellent news all round.

Update: Post corrected to include credit for Ann because I’m an idiot and she has a very honest husband.
