Judy-Lynn del Rey was a legend of the the science fiction world of the 1970s and 1980s, editing sf magazines like GALAXY before taking up the position where she would ultimately have the most impact, at Ballantine Books. Del Rey began as a Ballantine editor, then "winding up running the enterprise" (Frederick Pohl): over the course of the years that STELLAR was published, she became the VP of Ballantine Books, as well as Editor-in-Chief of Del Rey Books, the SF/F imprint at Ballantine established in 1977. Del Rey had a formative impact on what would become known as space opera - most dramatically, by nabbing the book rights to the novelization of an upcoming film, STAR WARS. Alan Dean Foster, author of that novelization, contributed a story to STELLAR's first issue. Other major contributors to these volumes include Clifford Simak, Robert Silverberg, Ben Bova, and Hal Clement.
