| New small press This April, Whippleshield Books will launch its first book, Adrift on the Sea of Rains by Ian Sales. This 20,000-word novella tells the story an attempt to return home by a group of military astronauts stranded at a base on the Moon. Described by Adam Roberts, author of By Light Alone, as “written with an expert blend of technical precision, descriptive vividness and emotional penetration”, and by Kim Lakin-Smith, author of Cyber Circus, as “as poignant as it is impeccably researched”, Adrift on the Sea of Rains is the first in a thematic quartet. The remaining three installments will also be published by Whippleshield Books. Whippleshield Books was founded by Ian Sales in order to focus on a type of science fiction which no one else seems to be publishing - ie, stories of high literary quality with extremely strong scientific and technological content. Whippleshield Books plans to publish some two to three titles a year, as signed limited hardbacks, trade paperbacks and ebooks. Submissions will open in May 2012, but bear in mind the acceptance criteria are extremely high. Review copies of Adrift on the Sea of Rains as PDF, MOBI or EPUB available on request. See here for more information. |

| Re: New small press The Whippleshield Books website is now up and running. I'll be tweaking it over the next week or so, but the books are available to purchase, and we're open for submissions. See here. |
