Since joining
Tachyon in 2002 as the managing editor, Jill Roberts has overseen the
remaking of the press from one that originally published 2-3 titles a
year and only sold to specialty bookstores into its present
incarnation of 8-10 books a year and mainstream distribution. Tachyon
tiles under her watch have won Nebula,
Hugo, World Fantasy, Shirley Jackson, and Locus awards and
routinely make “best of the year” lists. Among the numerous acclaimed titles Roberts oversaw include HER SMOKE ROSE UP FOREVER by James Tiptree Jr., THE EMPEROR’S SOUL by Brandon Sanderson, WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY FINE by Daryl Gregory, STEAMPUNK edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, CENTRAL STATION by Lavie Tidhar, and  THE HOTEL UNDER THE SAND by Kage Baker.

Prior to Tachyon, Roberts worked within the gaming, fashion, and health industries. She
has been a columnist for Books to Watch Out For and the
Thirteenth Moon, as well as a consulting editor at the
nonprofit writing program Streetside Stories.

Everyone at Tachyon wishes the amazing Jill a happy birthday. And not just because we’re scared of her.
