BOUNDARY to be in Science Fiction Book Club!

[seawasp]

Eric and I have been notified that Boundary will be in the Science Fiction Book Club magazine as a featured item. This weekend I'll be writing a draft of the blurb which will go with the book. This is fun -- my first hardcover and my first SFBC appearance!

In other exciting writing news, I just received my first "Advance Reader's Copy" -- of Boundary, naturally. ARCs are produced generally as trade paperbacks; this looks SO COOL!

Disclaimer: I work for the SFBC but I do not speak for them or represent them in any way.

The market for F&SF skews strongly towards the F end of the scale (1), around two to one. SF may account for perhaps 2% of the books sold last year.

The SFBC offers as many SF novels as fantasy. I don't know what the relative sales are and probably would attract the attention of the Bookspan Orbiting Laser if I did know and shared but I have good reason to suspect Joe Average SFBC Customer is looking for SF. There are fewer eyeballs involved but they are biased towards SF.


1: It would be very rude of me to speculate why this is but I will say it is not surprising, any more than the general tone of post-Imperial British SF was.
