tamaranthAs some of you will know, Simon and Schuster (publishers occasional issuers of Chris Priest's award-winning The Separation) have axed their SF/fantasy imprint, Earthlight.
Tonight at Borders on Oxford Street (which is air-conditioned, I think), Pat Cadigan's SF night features 'Earthlight orphans'.
Lifted from Ansible:
Pat writes: `I would like to get together as many of the Earthlight authors as I can for a reading/signing, plus professionals in publishing to discuss the crisis in SF publishing, and how the actions of large corporations often seem to have absolutely no basis in reality.' Darren Nash adds: `This isn't to be a Simon & Schuster UK hate-session, but an elegy of sorts to Earthlight, and an exploration of why SF&F is first out the door when things become tough.'
Starts at 6:30. Pub (usually the Shakespeare's Head on Carnaby Street) afterwards, in best tradition of British SF events.
