    agency advice

    @millymollymo Ha! Yes. I'm not disparaging midlist at all and I think you've pretty much got it in terms of the type of publisher I'm thinking of...I have another work with one of the big ones after they invited me to submit a specific story of mine but that could be some time before I hear back...

    agency advice

    THanks @janeoreilly I think that's exactly what I'm going to do - the conversations at the moment are positive because of it but they're really interested in representing new work - which fortunately I have to share(!).

    agency advice

    So one has come back asking for a normal submission process...which is a bit...frustrating as the point is I'm wanting to sign my contract now and they seem to have completely ignored that...it's not like I can wait around for 12+ weeks while they do their normal dicking around (oh for an...

    yes, a sizeable advance and by mid sized I mean properly mid-sized - global reach and presence across multiple entertainment channels - I'm just not allowed to say who. All their other authors are agented for example. Thanks @janeoreilly I hadn't thought of Zeno as last time I looked John was...

    agency advice

    So I have been offered a book deal by a mid-sized publisher. I have, after being invited to submit, another with Tor. So now I find myself thinking about agents. This isn't really a post asking for whether I should or shouldn't. It's more to ask those who are represented if they'd recommend...

    What was the last movie you saw?

    Jumanji at the cinema. It was surprisingly funny and did a lot right. Just finished Return of the King with the kids...forgot how amazing that trilogy is.

    January 2018: Reading thread

    So many books this month: Imaginary Cities - which is a rollicking tour of the city as seen through the eyes of visionaries and architects through the centuries Stone Sky by NK Jemisin - the conclusion to her gate cycle which is, frankly, the best of the three. The NIX, which is a fantastic...

    2018 Writing Goals & 2017 Review

    I'm waiting on feedback from a novella Tor asked me to submit. Other than that I have two 'third' novels in two separate series to write, one of which is about five years overdue...But alongside that I have a new book - Bridge of Light - that I'm wrestling with. It's about a glorious golden city...

    Rey theories SPOILER ALERT

    In this movie I can see Kylo and Rey BOTH abandoning their allies at crucial moments

    Rey theories SPOILER ALERT

    I think that Rebels has laid the groundwork quite clearly for balance to be grey, that it's not an opposition of light and dark but the way of the Bendu. I think the fox in the trailer is important as it is also something seen in rebels. So does Rey abandon the jedi perspective at Luke's urging...

    What are you working on right now?

    I'm into chapter 2 of my novella for Tor...the first chapter, despite being planned out has completely surprised me by demanding to be written in the first person...so there's that...

    What is so special about Blade Runner?

    yes, but Villeneuve has disagreed with him in public, stating that it's just not that simple. They had a good bicker about it in an interview. I think it's better for the narrative for Deckard to be human. I think that it also deals with issues live then and live now - slavery, the...

    FantasyCon 2017: Peterborough

    Ah, never mind. I, too, enjoyed the convention a huge amount and got a commission from someone that I'm terribly excited about for a story I've had in my head for a very long time but haven't ever found a reason (until now) to write it. I also managed to drink huge amounts over a decent course...
