Liminal Staff
Shannon Peavey - Senior Editor/Publisher
Shannon Peavey's stories have appeared in places such as Apex, The Masters Review, and Beneath Ceaseless Skies, among others. During the Clarion West workshop of 2013, she met Kelly and discovered an eerily similar shared taste in fiction. When not writing or working on Liminal, Shannon works as a horse trainer. She would very much appreciate it if heroes in fantasy novels would stop riding nineteen-hand black stallions. For Liminal, Shannon is seeking sharp-edged stories with a literary flair. You can follow Shannon on Twitter at @shannonpv.
Kelly Sandoval - Senior Editor/Publisher
Kelly Sandoval's fiction has appeared in Uncanny, Asimov's, Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy, and other venues. Currently, she's writing an interactive novel for Choice of Games. She's a graduate of Clarion West's 2013 class. By day, she works as a writer/editor for a bank, which is about as exciting as it sounds. Kelly's tastes in fiction run toward the broken and the strange. With Liminal she hopes to publish stories that challenge the boundaries of the expected.
