Silver is a longtime contributing editor to SF Site and has written that site's news page since its inception.

In 2003, he co-edited three anthologies with Martin H.

From 2004 through 2012 he was the publisher and editor of ISFiC Press.[2]

Silver published his first short story, "Les Lettres de Paston", in the final issue of Helix SF.[3] Silver had earlier written a column on alternate history for the magazine.

In 2009 and 2010, he edited the two volume Selected Stories of Lester del Rey for NESFA Press. The first volume is entitled War and Space and appeared in August, 2009.[4] The second volume, Robots and Magic was published in February 2010.[5]
