Author Description In my day job, I am the Head of the Rare Book & Manuscript Library and Juanita J. and Robert E. Simpson Rare Book and Manuscript Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, one of the largest public university rare book collections in the country. I used to manage pop culture special collections that include the papers of over 70 SF/F authors at Northern Illinois University. I also occasionally teach a Special Collections course as an adjunct in the iSchool at Illinois, and used to do so at SJSU.<br /><br />I'm a twelve-time Hugo Award winner, and the former Co-Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of <em> Uncanny Magazine </em>with my ex-husband Michael Damian Thomas. The former Editor-in-Chief of Apex Magazine (2011-2013), I co-edited the Hugo Award-winning <em> Chicks Dig Time Lords, Whedonistas, </em> and <em>Chicks Dig Comics</em>. I moderated the Hugo-Award winning SF Squeecast and contribute to the Verity! Podcast. You can learn more about my shenanigans at lynnemthomas.com.
