The editor is Stephen R. Carter, who holds a Ph.D. in English is from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. Best known for helping develop the Mormon Studies program at Utah Valley State College, he is also co-founder of the humorous publication, The Sugar Beet, and co-author of The Mormon Tabernacle Enquirer. He has won writing awards for his personal essays; one of his essays was included in a Houghton Mifflin anthology, Best American Spiritual Writing 2006.

When asked about himself, he says "all evidence of my nativity has been obliterated" due to the fact that the Provo doctor who delivered him ran off with a nurse to eastern Europe and the hospital was demolished, as was the building in which he was named and blessed. He served a mission to Toronto; married his high school girl friend, Noelle (they have two children); and studied in Montana and Alaska where Noelle also earned degrees in creative writing and narrative studies. They now live in Lyman, a Wyoming town, where he is delighted to discover that with the magic of the Internet he is able to edit Sunstone in his pajamas.
