Virtual Tales, an e-publisher of serialized novels and novellas spanning a variety of fiction genres and styles, announced that it has hired its first round of editors for its new serialized fiction website, which is scheduled to launch later this spring. The editors selected to fill these positions have extensive individual and collective editorial experience covering a wide range of genre fiction.

"Filling these positions was mission-critical to launching our website," said Dave A. Law, Chairman of Virtual Tales. "Having highly qualified editors with a broad range of fiction-editing skills is essential to ensuring that all of our offerings — whether from established or previously unpublished authors — are as polished and professional as possible."

The first group of editors chosen to work for Virtual Tales includes:

• P. June Diehl — an editor, author, writing coach and teacher with more than 20 years of experience. June currently offers her skills to ePress Online, newsletters, writing groups and individual authors, and will edit serialized works primarily in the Action/Adventure and Horror genres.
• Rose Fox — a longtime journalist whose reviews and commentary on fantasy, science fiction, and horror works have appeared in Publishers Weekly, Strange Horizons, and BookFetish. Rose will edit primarily Fantasy and Science Fiction serials for Virtual Tales.
• Kimberly Gonzalez— a proofreader of science fiction and fantasy novels for Baen Books, and currently serves on the Editorial Board at Flash Me magazine. Kim will principally be editing the Fantasy and Science Fiction genres for Virtual Tales.
• Chrissie Henderson — runs her own business as a freelance editor and writing coach in Queensland, Australia. Chrissie is a dedicated editor who firmly believes in the future of e-books and will be chiefly responsible for serials in the Action/Adventure and General Fiction genres.

Virtual Tales is a privately held partnership founded in 2006 to publish original works of general and genre fiction in multiple formats, including eBooks, eSerials and print. eBooks are offered in a variety of formats, including MobiPocket, Microsoft Reader and PDA-formatted Adobe Reader files. eSerials are delivered through email twice a week as Adobe Reader files suitable for reading on a PC, Mac, PDA, e-reader, cell phone or other devices. All eSerials are available for a free trial subscription, so readers everywhere are encouraged to visit the website and sample the offerings at no cost or obligation.
