Derek Xavier Weiler (October 4, 1968 – April 12, 2009) was a journalist and Canadian magazine editor. He was editor of Quill & Quire, Canada's national book trade magazine.

Early career

Weiler received a B.A. and M.A. in English literature from the University of Waterloo and a certificate in Magazine and Book Publishing from Centennial College in Toronto.[1]

His first job in publishing was as an editor for Key Porter Books.[1]

Quill & Quire

After being hired at Quill & Quire as a staff writer in 1999, he rose through the positions of review editor and news editor to be named editor in chief in 2004.[2]

During his tenure, Weiler wrote book reviews and articles for the country's three major newspapers: The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and the National Post.

Weiler had a tattoo on his inner forearm that read "I can't go on. I'll go on," a well-known line from Samuel Beckett's The Unnamable, and a reference, as he revealed in a blog post,[3] to his struggle with a heart condition, the details of which he did not reveal.

Death

Weiler died suddenly, the result of his heart condition,[4] on April 12, 2009, in Toronto at the age of 40, the day his last book review,[5] of a debut story collection by Wells Tower, appeared in the Toronto Star.
