Edward Ferman was an American editor of science fiction and fantasy literature who became renowned as the long-time editor-in-chief and publisher of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Under his stewardship, the magazine became one of the few that maintained a regular publication schedule and enduring critical acclaim in the field, even as many other similar publications folded. Ferman's editorial approach, often conducted from his family home, contributed to the magazine's distinctive character. His work had a significant impact on the genre, and his editorship is still valued today for the quality of the works it featured.
