GOLDSMITH, Cele

GOLDSMITH, Cele
(1933-)
   US editor of SF MAGAZINES who in 1956-8 was assistant editor and then managing editor of AMAZING STORIES and FANTASTIC under Paul W. FAIRMAN, becoming editor of both in Dec 1958; she held this position untilJune 1965, when the magazines were sold and ceased for a time to publish original stories. Under her editorship the quality of both improved markedly; she was prepared to encourage experiment and was particularly sensitive to new writers. Among the authors whose first published stories appeared in her magazines were Thomas M. DISCH, Roger ZELAZNY and Ursula K. LE GUIN; the latter said of CG, in THE WIND'S TWELVE QUARTERS (coll1975), that she was "as enterprising and perceptive an editor as the science fiction magazines ever had". CG married in 1964, becoming Cele G. Lalli.
