It is easy to overlook the contribution that editors and publishers of astrology books and magazines have made to our field. Many of the people on the list of memorials would have remained in obscurity, had their editors not believed in them and fought to bring their work to a wider audience. These editors typically labored enough over version after version of typewritten manuscripts that they ought to have been listed as co-authors. Let's face it-- being a good astrologer does not make you a good writer!
This is not an exhaustive list by any means, for many other honorees served for periods of time as editors of
their group journals. And while you're at it, visit our collection of Astrology Columnists,
with some names that may surprise you.
