If you’re reading this blog, you probably know me from one of several associations:
1) you’re family and I told you to check out the blog for all things about me,
2) you’re a personal friend, in which case I also told you to check out the blaag for all things about me,
3) you know me as one of the submissions editors/marketing fairies with APEX MAGAZINE (SF/Horror, if the picture didn’t make sense),
4) you’re a web acquaintance who was legitimately interested in knowing a little more about me (oh, you poor fool), or
5) you have no idea who I am, and could care less, in which case, let me remind you of this blog’s motto:
Nobody’s Forcing You To Read This.
So I address this to you #4s out there, who might actually be legitimately interested, and I promise, I’ll keep it brief.
My name is Maggie (middle name Dot, hence the url). I am a submissions editor/marketing fairy with APEX MAGAZINE and APEX BOOK COMPANY, a small sci-fi/horror press based out of Lexington, Kentucky. I graduated from college last year with a double major of English and East Asian Studies, and I do actually know some Mandarin Chinese due to the latter. Almost a year ago, I married my high school sweetheart Andy (who–oddly enough–was also my best friend way back in 3rd grade), and we moved to Portland, OR back in August.
I am also an amateur writer, with a few small publications under my belt, and I am also a very amateur painter/cartoonist, as you will surely learn if you read this blog with any regularity. I’m an avid gamer, now mostly console-based, a self-admitted movie/TV addict, and I have far too many hobbies to list here.
To find out more about me, you can visit any of the sites listed off to the right under Personal.
The photo above is from the original photo shoot for my Apex bio picture, and while the photo on the Apex website is far more sinister, this one makes me laugh when I see it. Photo by Andy.
