Angela Faith Brown, former Alyson editor, has started up a stylish new online journal called subterraneans. My short story 1000 Miles was reprinted in the premiere issue:

Re: New Queer Fiction Journal
Thu, November 23, 2006 - 10:47 AMPowerful story! Brought tears to my eyes at the end. Congratulations (on this, and on the Catalyst, Lambda short list, &c), and thanks for the link, too. I'm bookmarking the site, and have passed the URL on to a man whose writing definitely needs more exposure.
Happy holidays to you, too! -- Elissa

Re: New Queer Fiction Journal
Thu, June 28, 2007 - 4:46 PMSorry to post this, but ...
If anyone has the recent contact information for Angela Faith Brown please contact me via www.book-editing.com.
She was removed from my network for taking money from 5 writers without providing services (and disappearing on them/me).
Because I posted a warning about her on my site, I am receiving e-mails from other writers trying to find her in order to file against her via the attorney general's office. She is still scamming writers.
Help appreciated.

Re: New Queer Fiction Journal
Fri, June 29, 2007 - 7:22 AMIt is sad, although some people like that are still very good at what they do. I had a similar experience with a editor, who was an amazing editor, but a little mentally, well, off. I think she meant well, but things tended to get out of hand for her. She took people's money and tried to do the right thing, but then it went sour and after doing that a few times, she took off. Lucky for me, I got my money's worth from her. But I know she took one person for $15,000! And several others for lesser, but still significant amounts. I hear she is now in Arizona, trying to do the same thing. -

Pardon my ignorance, but what editing service costs $15K? For one piece?

Re: New Queer Fiction Journal
Fri, June 29, 2007 - 9:27 AMOh, not just for editing. Sorry. She was also running a small "publishing" house that turned more into a vanity press and she got people to pay to have their books published and then never published them in the end. She did several rounds of actually publishing books and one of them ended up getting bought up by Simon and Schuster, so people gave money thinking that they had a good opportunity and she certainly talked a good talk. Plus she was a professor at the University of Washington. Not bad credentials.
I hired her to do some editing on an early, early draft of my first book many years ago and she was a very good editor and taught me a lot about writing. But now, well, something odd happened to her and I feel bad for the folks she took for a ride. I have no idea how things are now that she is in Arizona, but a quick Google shows that she is still promoting herself as a teacher and editor, but isn't connected to any university. I think the UW may have booted her.

Re: New Queer Fiction Journal
Sat, June 30, 2007 - 7:11 PMI'm glad I found this thread and tribe.net. My story "Armistice Night" was also in Subterraneans. (Bridget, "1000 Miles' was WONDERFUL.) I've been e-mailing Angela Brown every couple of weeks since March, trying to get an update on the site. So, now the mystery is more or less solved. That part, anyway.
Well, onward.
Cheers to all --
