During 1969 and 1970, Ferman was also the editor of F&SF's sister publication

humor magazine P.S. and a similarly brief run of a magazine about mysticism and other proto-New Age
matters, Inner Space.

Ferman won the Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor three years in a row, from 1981 through 1983.[4][5] F&SF had previously won four Hugos as the best professional magazine under his editorship.[4] At least in the last decade of his tenure, he worked from a table in the family's Connecticut house. He edited or co-edited several volumes of stories from F&SF and co-edited Final Stage with Barry N. Malzberg. It is probable that he also ghost-edited No Limits for or with Joseph Ferman, an anthology drawn from the pages of the first run of Venture.

Ferman was recognized by a special

Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2009.[7]
