DenverPost.com - BOOKS
A variety of promising new authors are collected in “New Voices in Science Fiction,’ edited by Mike Resnick (DAW, 351 pages, $6.99). The broad scope of these 20 original stories range from Jewish vampires to a post-human wedding farce.

2003 in review
December 31st 2003 at 1:03 am
The year in review. Why not? I do it every year. 2003 has been an interesting year. I got many things accomplished, and I dropped the ball on other things.
In my non-writing activities I got married (woo hoo), got promoted at my day job, moved my day job to a 10 month contract, and moved […]
New Faces in SF review
December 30th 2003 at 3:04 am
SF Revu reviews New Faces in SF:
“Four Eyes”, by Tobias S. Buckell, is one of several contemporary-or nearly so-spirit-fantasy pieces which would have fit nicely into Nalo Hopkin’s recent anthology Mojo Conjure Stories. […]
Midlist

Nick Mamatas mentioned in the comments section a report done on the midlist by the Authors Guild, which I tracked down: Authors Guild Midlist Study Group Report (2000).

Bummer.

All Her Children Fought has been reprinted and translated into Hebrew at Bli Panika. The editor just emailed me to say he’s had it up for a week, has a neat little illustration that goes with it, and has been getting nice reader email about the story.
Banks are evil
December 26th 2003 at 2:32 pm
I won’t even talk about it, but the more I do business and get older, the more I’m convinced that banks are evil.
For example, a month ago, I was informed that I was not allowed to transfer money from an account with a positive balance, to an account with a negative or zero balance.
No one […]
Insanity + Authors
December 24th 2003 at 9:20 am
Over atMaking Light Teresa Nielsen Hayden has posted an entry called ‘Varieties of insanity known to affect authors.’
If I could just get people to read my manuscript, I know they’d love it.
You must not love my book if you want me to make all these changes.
My first novel took a long time to write, but […]
