I'm not going to add to this debate - our preamble simply states our intention, and we welcome debate and comment deriving from it. However, while much of the debate is centred on what people think other people are thinking and doing (and perceptions of course), at least get your facts right.

At no time did I mean to imply that you or any of the SQ staff had acted inappropriately and that's a possible outcome of my wording. I apologize unreservedly.
As to Sophie Yorkston being credited with the change, I read the note at the top of the article and the author window at the bottom, both of which reference you as having posted, so perhaps I can be forgiven for that assumption. Apologies to Sophie specifically.

I don't understand why you were taken aback by my tone, as it was simply factual and straightforward. It seems to me that too often, as I inferred earlier, people thinking about what people think quite a bit - and don't always get it right. My only concern in my Point 2 was that people may believe that we made changes to the content of the articles in response to the debate. This concerned us as we didn't want to.
As opposed to blogs, such as yours, where the bloggist is the author in almost every case, magazines operate completely differently. The paradigm applied to us is no different in the electronic and print media - the author isn't necessarily the poster/typesetter. But you still can be forgiven for that assumption :)
I want to assure you that I, as publisher, took no major offence here, but I do believe that a reasonable standard of accuracy and clarity needs to be employed by those who focus on the actions and motivations of others in the public. We are human, however, and the beauty of blogs and ezines is that things can get fixed rapidly, where there's motivation.

Women do write horror, and great horror it is. This is why the first book out through my publishing house was a Kaaron Warren collection, and then a noir novella by Deborah Sheldon, both great writers of horror and thriller literature.
Also, Twelfth Planet Press have obviously made a big impact in horror, especially in publishing female horror writers and winning many awards with published works, and to have left them out was, in truth, a glaring omission.
I agree that the article in question would have been more accurate if TPP was included.
