  Science fiction - SCIFIPEDIA
Broadly, science fiction is a genre of imaginative fiction that explores the impact of technology on society and individuals, or that relies on extrapolation from known science and technology to construct its plot or setting.
Science fiction is that class of prose narrative treating of a situation that could not arise in the world we know, but which is hypothesized on the basis of some innovation in science or technology, or pseudo-technology, whether human or extra-terrestial in origin.
Science fiction is story-telling, usually imaginative as distinct from realistic fiction, which poses the effects of current or extrapolated scientific discoveries, or a single discovery, on the behavior of individuals of society.

 Locus Online: Rich Horton on Editors and Awards
Editors are also influential because they significantly affect what writers choose to write about: what kind of stories, and what subject matter.
The dominant editors all worked at magazines that were among the highest-paying in the field during their tenure, though not necessarily the very highest paying.
One of the great joys is to be reminded of the editors of publications that have not been represented in the awards, usually due to obscurity or to being overseas.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It may be useful for editors who are putting together an anthology to say, "Stories that will fit on three pages are in; stories that won't are out." But word count doesn't capture very well the essence of what it is to read a flash fiction.
The editors chose their stories with the help of students who identified their favorites among published short-shorts.
Science fiction is, ideally, the literature of ideas.

 Editors (fiction-publishing industry)
Some don't like science fiction (I find it useful to have non-SF readers critique my SF stories because those readers are less likely to be generous with SF ideas).
I would strongly suggest that, unless the private editor is being recommended by a legitimate, for-profit publisher (not a vanity-press publisher) or agent, and he comes with references you can verify, you avoid commercial, private editors.
It has been from studying my editor's comments that I have been able to identify patterns, weaknesses, and errors in my writing, and then work on my own to solve thoise problems, study to improve style, and develop writing tools to achieve particular effects more strongly.
