Re: Comparing Science Fiction, Science Fantasy, and Fantasy

Thanks for speaking up on this!

Is the definition something that's set up by publishers or something you personally define in the course of your job? And by believable, do you mean that it's based on the science that we know today? In order to do that, it seems like editing science fiction would require a greater knowledge of science than say someone who edits romance novels. Though, by that reasoning Angels and Demons by Dan Brown falls under science fiction as well. That would probably be one of the exceptions, though.
