She was one of the better pulp editors, and yet today not many know her name or recognize the role she played.<br /><br />The prior publisher of Black Mask magazine agrees with you on her influence on <em>Black Mask</em> film noir in <a href="https://somethingisgoingtohappen.net/2012/08/29/black-mask-magazine-steve-fisher-and-the-noir-revolution-by-keith-alan-deutsch/%22" rel="nofollow">this article</a>.

Under Shaw the magazine had become almost too hard boiled and lacked a sense of humor. Fanny Ellsworth allowed humor and encouraged some writers that Shaw would not have published. Names like Cornell Woolrich and Frank Gruber. Unfortunately the cover design also changed with some terrible covers. The title was eventually sold to Popular Publications in 1940 and the new editor, Ken White, did a fine job in reviving the magazine.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
