I think some of the most exciting work being produced right now is happening at the margins, and it’s tremendous to have a hand in getting it before the public. Sarah Schulman, who was my advisor for two semesters at Goddard, once said in a letter, “If it doesn’t hurt, you aren’t doing it right.†Oddly enough, I got the same advice from my friend Carter Stevens, former publisher of the S&M News.
