Issue 4 flatplan – The excitement

One of the many joys of being the editor of SciFiNow is that you get a fine choice of highlighter pens. Another perk is that you have many reasons to use them. This month I’ve found myself rejigging the flatplan to issue 4 just so I can colour in what’s been commissioned out again. It’s worth mentioning though, whilst we’re on the subject of flatplans, how exciting they can be. On the surface, it’s just a gridded A4 sheet that helps us organize the magazine, but it also works as a small hype machine. Every time I glance at it, I get excited about the issue coming back from the printers. Hopefully, it’s telling that the issue 4 flatplan currently residing to the left of my keyboard has me more buzzed about the magazine than ever before. It’s just going to be one of those issues where you wish you were working on a 250 page magazine. Now there’s a thought.
