A Preview of Jon Armstrong’s Upcoming Yarn from the NYRSF Reading Series
For a peek into the writing and editing of Yarn, check out my interview podcast where I spoke with Juliet Ulman. Her name may not mean much to you, but she’s edited Jeff Vandermeer, Barth Anderson, Tony Ballantyne, Mark Budz, Jon Courtenay Grimwood, M. John Harrison, and Catherynne M. Valente among others. As a character in a David Mamet play might say, ‘She’s the guy behind the writer, behind the writing.’
Juliet edited Yarn and just as I was halfway through her comments, we spoke on my podcast, If You’re Just Joining Us. As a bonus, she discusses the main character of Yarn and his journey.
Jon Armstrong is a speculative fiction writer. His first novel, Grey, was published in 2007 and was short-listed for the Philip K Dick Award. That same year, Jon was also nominated for the Campbell Award for Best New SF Writer.
