| Born: December 12, 1944 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania |
| Ginjer was born long enough ago that she remembers the invention of television. In the late 1960's she discovered science fiction fandom and became a Founding Mother of the Western Pennsylvania Science Fiction Society. |
| She moved to New York City in the early '70s, where she made her living for over a dozen years as a social worker. During that time, she also worked as a freelancer for various SF publishers, including Pocket Books, where she was the consulting editor for the Star Trek novel program, and the Science Fiction Book Club, for which she did outside reading. |
| In 1984, she was offered a full-time job as an editor at Ace Books. Since she was due for a mid-life career change, she accepted immediately. In 1987, she was promoted to Senior Editor, in 1994 to Executive Editor, SF and Fantasy; and in January of 1996, to Senior Executive Editor and Marketing Director. |
| Thanks to Mike Resnick, she has had three SF short stories published in Alternate Kennedys, Whatdunnits II, and By Any Other Fame. |
