CODA BY KEVIN G. SUMMERS
O
ur July issue issue is usually the most difficult one for me to fill every year. It seems like many of our authors are traveling during June, and don’t feel like writing about submarine cables while lounging on the beach, sipping iced tea and reading the latest Nick Cole novel. Generally, I have to beg and plead in order to fill the July issue with quality content, but this year was different! I sent out my usual request for articles and was absolutely FLOODED with confirmations. It was wonderful, and I think this issue is, per-
haps, the finest summer issue we’ve ever published. I want to thank everyone who has contributed to Submarine Telecoms Forum magazine over the past year (and years). We literally could not produce this magazine without you. I’d also like to thank everyone that meets our crazy deadlines and turns their articles in on time. Publishing is always a matter of deadlines, and those authors that deliver their articles on time are a blessing. You people are saints! We’re always looking for quality content in our magazine, and we
have an open submission policy. Do you have a story that you think would make a good feature in SubTel Forum? If so, please let me know. Some of my favorite articles over the years have come from random submissions. Kevin G. Summers is the Editor of Submarine Telecoms Forum and has been supporting the submarine fibre optic cable industry in various roles since 2007. Outside of the office, he is an author of fiction whose works include ISOLATION WARD 4, LEGENDARIUM, THE MAN WHO SHOT JOHN WILKES BOOTH, and THE BLEAK DECEMBER.
