ALL OF THE BOOKS, Nine Worlds’ track for everything SFF, announces new guests and two exciting new events today!
FINDING AN AGENT
Agent Juliet Mushens and Gollancz author Den Patrick talk you through the publishing process from both sides. Den will share his writing tips, suggestions for preparing to submit to agents, and insights into the process from finishing your book to publication. Juliet will explain what she looks for in submissions, how to catch an agent's attention, and how her role continues far beyond when the deal is inked.
LAUNCH PARTY: SWORDS OF GOOD MEN AND THE GLASS REPUBLIC
On Friday 9th August Snorri Kristjansson and Tom Pollock will be launching their respective novels Swords of Good Men and The Glass Republic at Nine Worlds.
Swords of Good Men is a rousing historical fantasy novel (with Vikings!), about two young men caught in the middle of the cataclysmic clash between the Old Gods and the White Christ. It is the debut novel from author, stand-up comedian and teacher Snorri Kristjansson. The first in the Valhalla trilogy, it’s out in hardback on 1st August 2013.
The Glass Republic is the second in the Skyscraper Throne series from Tom Pollock, which began with the critically acclaimed urban fantasy The City’s Son. This astonishing series, reminiscent of China Miéville's Un Lun Dun and Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, brings a hidden London to vivid life. It will also be out in hardback on 1st August 2013.
Tom and Snorri invite all Nine Worlders to join them at the launch for merriment, mead (why not?), and a celebration of the fantastic fantasy literature coming from Jo Fletcher Books in August.
