I spoke to the producer of the Today programme this afternoon. They are sending a car for me at 7.45 tomorrow morning. My segment of the show will be broadcast between 8.40 and 8.50 am GMT – and I’ll be in conversation with acclaimed novelist Liz Williams, talking about the appeal of SF to a female audience. If you miss the show – or can’t receive BBC Radio 4 where you are – you can hear it online using the BBC’s Listen Again service.

I’ve just opened an email from one of the producers of BBC Radio 4′s Today programme, asking if I’ll appear on Saturday morning’s programme to talk about whether science fiction is a purely male preserve. I’ve said yes. Please listen in if you can.

I’ve given an interview to sci-fi.uk.com. You can read it here.

I came across this interview with Interzone co-editor Jetse de Vries. It gives a glimpse into the editorial process, and some valuable insights into the kinds of stories Jetse and his colleagues are looking for – I suggest you check it out.

When asked which writers and/or stories he is proud to have discovered, Jetse says:

“The Last Reef by Gareth Lyn Powell: I did a rewrite on the original with him, and the end result was all I hoped for (and Gareth was a real pleasure to work with).”
