Mslexia Guest Editors

Introducing Mslexia's upcoming guest editors..

We’re delighted to welcome Guest Editor, Val McDermid, who will be taking charge of the October issue of the magazine. Val is a crime writer and ex newspaper editor. Catch up with her progress on the Mslexia blog.

Val is the second of three experienced women editors who will be guesting at Mslexia in the coming months. Elsbeth Lindner, an experienced editor who ran the Women’s Press for many years and now edits newbooks, the magazine for reading groups, has edited the Jul/Aug/Sep issue now on sale; and ex editor of Cosmopolitan and She, Linda Kelsey, will tackle the December edition. Mslexia's editorial director Debbie Taylor will take up the reins again for the March 2012 issue.

Elsbeth Lindner

‘Mslexia is one of the essentials of the UK book world, and as a life-long paid-up member of that world I'm enormously pleased (and flattered) to be invited to guest-edit an issue.’

VAL MCDERMID

‘I've loved Mslexia since the beginning. Being asked to guest-edit an issue is the most exciting compliment I've had in ages. But nothing's set in stone yet, so I'm open to suggestion!’

LINDA KELSEY

‘I'm greatly looking forward to guest-editing Mslexia. As an editor, journalist and author, I have always focused on the particular interests and needs of women, so working with Mslexia feels like a homecoming.’
