Toni Weisskopf (born 1965) is a science fiction editor and the publisher of Baen Books.
Weisskopf is an alumna of Oberlin College, from which she graduated in 1987. She was immediately employed by Baen Books, where she served as executive editor up until the death of founder Jim Baen in 2006, at which point she took over as publisher.[1]
She has edited a number of their anthologies under the name T.K.F. Weisskopf, and has won the Phoenix Award in 1994 for excellence in science fiction, the Rebel Award in 2000 for lifetime achievement is Southern Science Fiction Fandom, and in 1994 she was also awarded the tongue-in-cheek Rubble Award, given out annually to a fan or pro who has "done something humorously ignominious".[2]
She has one daughter, Katherine, with Jim Baen.[3] She was married to Hank Reinhardt until his death on October 30, 2007.
Weisskopf was the editor guest of honor for the 2010 NASFiC, ReConStruction.[4]
