The author of this week's story talks with the magazine's fiction editor.

From 1997 to 2005, she was the fiction editor of Esquire.

He was the fiction editor at Cosmopolitan magazine, from 1905 to 1907.

He worked for some years as a fiction editor with various London publishing houses.

After her dance career ended, she became a fiction editor at Seventeen magazine in the 1940s.

Several years later she became an associate fiction editor at Collier's.

He had been fiction editor of an important magazine, and a story consultant for a Hollywood studio as well.

In 1969 he persuaded Esquire to hire him as fiction editor.

But the magazine's fiction editors, aided by four or five readers, normally look through them all.

I thought Peter was appointed fiction editor, but he has never written any fiction since the paper started.
