Power Editors Power Hour

When we have two of the most accomplished and well-respected editors in the business in Calgary at the same time, how could we resist creating a new opportunity to listen, laugh, and learn from the best? Ann VanderMeer laid the groundwork for the current modern horror craze as the editor of Weird Tales, winning a Hugo (we’ll talk about early submissions from a then-unknown Stephen Graham Jones). And she’s an expert in classic and modern science fiction and fantasy, as well as introducing North American audiences to international stars in translation.

If you’re a Canadian author, you want to join the select club of writers Anne Collins edits, which includes Wordfest faves Jann Arden, Cherie Dimaline, Roméo Dallaire, Carol Off, Eden Robinson, Martha Wainwright, and Ian Williams. Oh, and she also worked her magic with Barry Lopez, Richard Powers, and Patti Smith.

These powerhouse Ann(es) come with decades of wit and wisdom, so we expect a refreshingly bracing Imagine On Air episode recorded live at the 2024 Imaginairium Festival.
