Gramer Girl here, I'm Manion Focardy and you can think of me as your friendly guide to

the English language, writing, history, rules and cool stuff.

Today, I have an interview with Diana Foe, a two-time Hugo nominated editor with Tor.com

publishing, and she's going to help me understand the role of sensitivity readers and how to

write a diverse cast of characters without completely screwing it up.

It's a great interview, I found it really helpful, and I'm also pretty sure Diana is going

to be contributing segments about fiction writing in the future, so we'll have that to look

forward to.

Hi, so thank you for being here with me today.

Hi, Manion, it's a great pleasure to be here as well.

I'm really excited to chat with you.

Yeah, me too.

So can you tell the listeners, can you say your name and then what you do at the publishing

house?

Okay, my name is Diana Foe, I'm an editor at Tor Books.

I've been at Tor for about eight years working at the Toriel, but I've also been in publishing

for 12 years working at other positions at other houses as well.

Wonderful, I love Tor.

I have so many good books.

Thank you.

I like to think so myself, but that's a purely biased opinion.

I really love science fiction and fantasy, so I've known Toriel a long time.
