About the Team

Ship’s Officers

Tom Dullemond

Tom Dullemond is an Australian/Dutch authentic human being who arouses no suspicion at all. He has been swabbing decks and avoiding responsibility on the Andromeda Spaceways committee since 2011. More recently he became responsible for the magazine’s Presidency, a role he uses to mask his general incompetence. When he is not writing lengthy feedback on submissions, he publishes short fiction in all genres, including literary pieces. He navigates the IT space for a living, and is one of the founders of Literarium.net. Tom can be found in the fediverse at @cacotopos@aus.social, and at www.tomdullemond.net on the interwebs. Do not feed.

Shelly Nir

Shelly Nir is a bookworm by nature, librarian by training, and writer by pathological impulse. She leapt aboard Andromeda Spaceways in 2020 as a slush reader, joined the editorial team in 2021, and has recently taken on the role of secretary. She co-edited Issue #86.

Samantha Ryder

Samantha Ryder proudly spends her days greeting potential passengers as Submissions Manager. When planetside, you’ll mostly find her wrangling data. At other times, she’ll be adventuring at a tabletop, balancing precariously on the back of a motorbike, or turning rocks into shiny pretties.

Joel Schanke

Joel Schanke is an editor and sometimes-writer based in Boston, MA. He is currently in the process of obtaining his M.A. in Publishing & Writing at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. He has edited and co-edited many issues for Andromeda Spaceways Magazine, and is also the Editor-in-Chief of the startup-zine, Endless Stars Magazine, which he hopes to have fully functional by the end of the year. Find him tweeting (sometimes) from @elschanks and @MagazineEndless.
