A truly great magazine cover surprises, even shocks, and connects in a nano-second.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a sentimental feeling for my very first cover I was on - it was 'Bazaar' Magazine.
Fiction demands structures and recognizable shapes. Big surprises only draw attention to the writer's hand.
The New York Quarterly is an amazing, intelligent, crazy, creative, strange, and indispensable magazine.
The cover I was really excited about was 'Seventeen' magazine. To me, it was much bigger than 'Time.' 'Seventeen' was where I wanted to be.
Being on the cover of a magazine with my son is the best thing ever. It took me 18 years to get my first cover, he gets one at 8 months.
A magazine is simply a device to induce people to read advertising.
I think of myself as a cover girl. But I would never do some kind of cheesy magazine.
The biggest fatal flaw in most fictional portrayals of nanotech - what sends those books arcing across the room - is ignoring that the nanobots need energy to do... anything.
My favorite magazine is the 'Harvard Business Review.' If someone sat across from me in a restaurant and didn't know me, that might surprise them.
The highest compliment I can give a science fiction book is that it's 'plausibly surreal' - it manages to feel like a relentless extrapolation from today even as it overwhelms with unexpected consequences of that extrapolation.
