Solaris Book Deal

Filed under My Writing • 16-07-2010 •

I’m delighted to tell you that I’ve just signed a novel contract with Solaris books, for a book due to be published in September 2011.

Here’s the official announcement from editor-in-chief, Jon Oliver:

I’m pleased to be able to announce that I have just commissioned a new SF novel from author Gareth L. Powell called The Recollection, due for release in September 2011 in the UK and US. Gareth is a brilliant new writer and I know that you’re going to blown away by his mix of SF, Space-Opera and contemporary fiction. This is a writer worth watching and we’re very proud to welcome him to the Solaris fold. Once we have a cover for Gareth’s title, we will of course let you all have a look.

    Very happy to hear it. I’ve had agents tell me my novel was OK but sf is a hard sell these days. (Which tells me I need to write something stronger than just OK.) But I’m glad to see people are still reading & writing it, ’cause it still seems essential to me. Not to mention a lot of fun…

    Thanks Jeremiah!

    Tom – I couldn’t agree more.
