Sybil’s Garage is a group effort.  There are many people behind the scenes who make it happen.  They’re the ones responsible for the current average response time of 15 days.  (And if you are an editor you know that’s no small feat.)  In the blogosphere I often read of “Matt Kressel’s Sybil’s Garage.”  But that’s not really true.  It’s not entirely mine.  The people below are just as responsible for bringing you the magazine (in this case, for issue six) that you know and love.  I thought I’d introduce them here on my blog so you could get to know them, if you don’t already, and see what a talented bunch they are.  But don’t you dare think of snatching them away for your magazine. 

	Eugene Myers Eugene Myers tries to do six impossible things before breakfast, whenever he doesn’t sleep through the snooze alarm; unfortunately, he habitually stays up late writing his own stories, reading yours, or playing Nintendo. If he passes up your submission, it may have reminded him of one of the 156 original episodes of The Twilight Zone, and you probably aren’t Rod Serling.
