The email’s gone off and should be in the relevant editors in-boxes, so I think it’s safe to tell you all that Gardner Dozois and I have delivered The New Space Opera to HarperCollins in Australia and the US. The 200,000 word anthology will be published in trade paperback in June 2007, and will feature the fabulous artwork of Stephan Martiniere on the cover (as mentioned here earlier). I’m very happy with the book, and can’t wait to see what you all think of, once it hits the shelves. Oh, and Gardner and I have been hard at work, and are in the planning stages for a possible NSOII (fingers crossed).
Can’t wait! Congrats on getting it delivered. Such long waiting times in this business (especially now that I real all these blogs…)
I am going into hibernation until June ’07. Try to avoid World War III and similar foolishness while I’m sleeping.
So… who does the True First Edition?
Good question. I think it’ll be the Eos edition, but I’ll make sure to post it here.
