There's also a lot of helpful stuff in the current issue of
Focus, the BSFA magazine produced specifically to inform would-be writers on the industry and their craft, with contributions from the likes of Christopher Priest (
The Prestige, The Separation etc), Jetse de Vries (
Interzone editor, author and rocket propulsion expert)... and a certain Anthony G. Williams!
All this, plus
Vector and
Matrix, sent out free to all members... Why would anyone
not want to join the BSFA?
By the way, Anthony, there are also a couple of interviews with some interesting things to say about the publishing industry in the next issue of
Matrix (which has just gone to print). One is with George Mann of Solaris books, giving s UK perspective, and the other with Lou Anders of Pyr, giving the American view.
