About Us

Tor.com, a site for science fiction, fantasy, and all the things that interest SF and fantasy readers, presents original short fiction, new sequential art, extensive art galleries, and commentary on science fiction and related subjects by a wide range of writers from all corners of the science fiction and fantasy field; both professionals working in the genres and fans. Its aim is to provoke, encourage, and enable interesting and rewarding conversations with and between its readers.

Tor.com’s philosophy is one of publisher agnosticism, and as such, boasts contributors and content from many different SF/F publishers, as well as fans from all corners of fandom.

Irene Gallo

Creative Director for Tor.com, Art Director for Tor Books, catsitter, and dogwalker. Frequently convinced she can’t write despite evidence to the contrary.

Fritz Foy

Fritz Foy is the Senior Vice President of Strategic Technology at Macmillan. His involvement with Tor.com began in January 1967 when he bought the first Star Trek novel, the Ace edition of The Fellowship of the Ring, and a used copy of Detective Comics #326 in Marley's in East Hampton NY. He still has all three. He is the Publisher of Tor.com.

Tom Doherty

Tom Doherty is the founder, President, and Publisher of Tor Books, which publishes the largest SF and fantasy list in the English-speaking world. He was there when the foundations of the earth were laid.

Liz Gorinsky
Liz Gorinsky

Liz Gorinsky is an editor at Tor Books and edits comics and short fiction for Tor.com. She probably spends too much time thinking about the robot uprising.

Chris Lough

Chris Lough is the production manager for Tor.com and probably has something that makes him stand out as a person, but hopes it’s not his haircut.

Bridget McGovern

Bridget McGovern is non-fiction editor of Tor.com, an erstwhile academic and full-time lit, film and pop culture geek. When not wrangling bloggers, she has something to say about everything from Alice’s Adventures, Batman, and Crow T. Robot to X-Ray Spex, Yog-Sothoth, and Zardoz, and is generally fun to have around at cocktail parties.

Teresa Nielsen Hayden

Longtime Tor consulting editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden helped invent Tor.com before being kidnapped by Boing Boing to moderate their newly-revived comment section. Then darkness took her, and she strayed out of thought and time, and wandered far on roads she will not tell. She has returned to moderate and encourage high-quality conversation on Tor.com and, it is rumored, other Macmillan sites yet to come.

Jamie Stafford-Hill

Jamie Stafford-Hill designs book covers for Tor Books and engages in miscellaneous design activities for Tor.com. He spends his free time brewing beer, coveting very expensive typefaces, and messing around with infographics.

Stephanie Treanor

Project manager that helps protect the bells and whistles of Tor.com. Her teenage self is reveling in the fact that part of her job is to immerse herself back into science fiction/fantasy. Which just proves those midnight screenings of LOTR were done as preparation for her future career.

Emily Asher-Perrin
EmilyAP

Emily Asher-Perrin is the editorial assistant for Tor.com and comes from an alternate universe. She is the sort of person who enjoys cosplaying, Anglophilia, and arguing the finer points of Jedi/Time Lord/Federation history over tequila, chocolate, or incredibly spicy food? Apparently, she could sing before she could talk.

Ryan Britt
RyanCBritt

Ryan Britt is a staff writer at Tor.com. His non-fiction has appeared with Clarkesworld Magazine, Nerve.com, and on stage at The Moth. His fiction can be found in Opium Magazine, Soon Quarterly, The Rumpus, and elsewhere. He teaches at The Gotham Writers Workshop and lives in Brooklyn.
