It has been nominated for the Hugo award three times, and received it in 1967. He has never officially closed it, and vaguely hopes to do a couple more issues. Today he does an email only fanzine two or three times a year, ENTROPY, and is currently working on #57. He has occasionally done pieces for other fanzines (fan published magazines). He states that he does not have the mind to write fiction, and confines his writing to articles on SF, reviews, and personal narrative. “I have never sold anything professionally.” Says Meskys. Do not let that fool you though. Ed is a writer who truly knows the craft and world of writing and has a lot to share with all.*
