The staff of Famous Monsters of Filmland is pleased to announce the arrival of Jessie Lilley to its ranks as Editor.
As a publisher and editor of small press magazines for over 20 years, Jessie brings an impressive wealth of experience to the pages of FM, and has already had an immediate effect on the production of #251, the relaunch issue scheduled for release in July. “I asked Jessie to write a piece for #251, and over the course of our discussions I think we both slowly realized that she had a lot to offer on the other side of the desk as well,” said FM Editor in Chief Michael Heisler. “We danced around the topic until, ultimately, her first achievement as Editor was to hire herself! Seriously, Jessie has joined us as we’re heading into the home stretch of putting FM #251 together, and we couldn’t be happier to have her aboard.”
Senior Manager Philip Kim adds “Jessie’s one more vital piece of the FM mosaic. She brings a familiarity with the established horror and sci-fi fan base, while completely understanding our plans to reach out to new fans. The magazine’s relaunch, along with our expanding web presence and our Famous Monsters Convention this summer, will introduce readers to an entirely new world of Famous Monsters.”
Jessie Lilley is organized, bright, intuitive, and shows a good deal of common sense. It’s a very good thing for the magazine that she was selected for the job.

Jessie is the best kind of professional in this field because she knows the deep need of fans to care about talented people who made the choice to be creative. Our heroes had many other choices than to build dreams so vividly that we rediscovered our own imaginations. Jessie moves effortlessly between the world of fantasy and the world of hard work.

Famous Monsters of Filmland #251 will ship in July from IDW Publishing, but Jessie’s presence will be felt immediately at our new online message board, the Famous Monsters of Filmland Forum. Join us there!
