Note to aspiring writers
It’s always good to hear from you, and I’m more than happy to answer your questions about the craft of writing and the publishing business if I can.  What I can’t do is undertake to read/critique your manuscript.  Nor can I help you find a publisher or agent.  Sorry, but if I said yes to the many requests I get I’d spend all my time reading your work and never doing my own.  The best advice I can offer if you want to be a writer is … write.  A lot.  And read copiously too, to learn from the way others do it. 
Good luck!

 

February 2010

I’m pleased to report that I’m going to be a guest at one of 2010’s biggest multimedia science fiction and fantasy events, SFX magazine’s Weekender. Held 5th/6th February at Pontin’s, Camber Sands, East Sussex, the Weekender has a very impressive line-up. Other authors attending include Joe Abercrombie, Paul Cornell, Peter F Hamilton, Stephen Hunt, China Mieville, Richard Morgan, Robert Rankin and Justina Robson.

Among the visual arts guests are Tom Baker (Dr Who), Gareth David-Lloyd (Torchwood), James Marsters (Buffy and Angel) and leading graphic novel artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen). (This is just a small selection; there are lots more guests.) There’s going to be a maskerade ball, live music, a mega-quiz and presentation of the 2010 SFX Awards.

Among other things, I’ll be on a panel discussing the Gemmell Awards, of which I’m Chair, along with Awards Administrator and author Deborah J. Miller.

To find out more about the event, and for ticket availability, check the Weekender blog and website. Hope to see you there!
