MT in Austin - 2010-07-02 12:21 PM Is there or can there be a way to submit authors not already in WoWoEnds? I've tried a couple authors I was introduced to here. I wanted to suggest an author I have found really good. I am on the second Starship book (Starship - Pirate) by Mike Resnick and find his writing and characters very good. Just wanted to make a suggestion to anyone with the "What the heck should I read next?" problem. Apologies if this is an old topic... Hey MT, Mike Resnick was already in our database with his Nebula and Clarke nominated novel Ivory. To that I've just added the Starship series that you recommended: - Starship: Mutiny
- Starship: Pirate
- Starship: Mercenary
- Starship: Rebel
- Starship: Flagship
To answer you main questions about adding authors: Typically an author makes it into WWEnd by either being nominated for an award (which includes long lists) or because they are included in a "best of" list that we cover like The ISFDB Top 100 Books. We will, from time to time, add authors that are recommended to us or because we feel they are going to nominated eventually or just because I like the cover art or I think you guys might like a book or something. Also, any books sent to us by a publisher will automatically be added. It's the least we can do. Lately I've been adding in a bunch of Pyr books like Starship because, hey, they've been sending us lots of freebies. Mostly it comes down to reason and time. If I've got a reason, like the fact that Pyr rocks or I get a request etc, and I have time to do it before I forget, I'll add them in. |
