Hutchings Hangs It Up

I somehow missed this news. From In Reference to Murder:

The Jan/Feb 2025 Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (issue #1000) reported the official news that after thirty-three years as editor-in-chief of EQMM, Janet Hutchings has retired. Hutchings has served as one of the most important editors in the world of short crime fiction, creating the publication's “Passport to Crime” department (helping make crime fiction in translation more mainstream), as well as the “Something Is Going to Happen” blog and the EQMM podcast.

Hutchings is only the third editor of the publication [following both Frederic Dannay and Eleanor Sullivan], and will be succeeded by Jackie Sherbow, who has served as Senior Managing Editor of both Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine.

Those are mighty big shoes to fill, Ms. Sherbow!
