Stephen H. Segal
Stephen H. Segal is an editor, designer, and writer based in Philadelphia. He currently works full-time as an acquisitions editor at Quirk Books—the publisher of such offbeat titles as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies—where he is developing fresh and unexpected new types of cross-genre projects and SF in unorthodox book formats.
During several years as editorial & creative director of Weird Tales, Stephen led the reinvention of that pioneering magazine of fantastic literature, infusing it with modern visual design, high-quality creative nonfiction, and a robust online presence while working with collaborator Ann VanderMeer to explore exciting new possibilities in fiction publishing. They won a Hugo Award for the freshly revamped Weird Tales in 2009.
Stephen also occasionally freelances as a book and magazine designer and as an essayist. In the past he has contributed work to Tor Books, Prime Books, WQED Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Juno Books, Viz Media, the Philadelphia Weekly, and the Interstitial Arts Foundation, among others.
