Edward Lewis Ferman (born March 6, 1937) is an American science fiction and fantasy editor and magazine publisher, known best as the editor of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (F&SF).
He took over as editor in 1964[1] when Avram Davidson could no longer practically continue, as a resident of Latin American locales with unreliable postal delivery.
His magazine, along with Analog, continued to maintain a regular schedule and to receive critical appreciation for its contents.
During 1969 and 1970, Ferman was also the editor of F&SF's sister publication Venture Science Fiction Magazine.
It is probable that he also ghost-edited No Limits for or with Joseph Ferman, an anthology drawn from the pages of the first run of Venture.
