Media Alert: Gateway welcomes many new authors!
Gateway to
welcome classic SF & Fantasy authors from Orbit, Hodder & Stoughton and
Headline
Gateway, an imprint
of the Orion Publishing Group and sister company to the UK's oldest science
fiction publisher Gollancz, is thrilled to announce the addition of some of the
world's finest SF & Fantasy authors, including Iain M. Banks, David
Gemmell, and Jean M. Auel, amongst others, to the Gateway website.
Gateway is an
eBook publisher of classic SF and Fantasy.
It is part catalogue site, highlighting and promoting the thousands of
eBooks; part gateway to online retailers from whom these eBooks can be bought;
part social network for readers who wish to discuss and recommend authors.
Gateway's
parent company, the Orion Publishing Group is owned by the Hachette UK Group,
which also owns Little, Brown, Hodder & Stoughton and Headline publishers,
among others. Little, Brown is home to one of the UK's major SFF imprints, Orbit,
who publish such genre heavyweights as Iain M. Banks, Terry Brooks, David
Gemmell, Robert Jordan and Elizabeth Moon. Hodder & Stoughton and Headline
are also home to some hugely respected writers of the fantastic, such as Jean
M. Auel, Ben Bova and Jack McDevitt, and share Robert A. Heinlein, and Harry
Turtledove with Gateway.
In Gateway’s
on-going efforts to make the website the ultimate source of classic SF and
Fantasy, the imprint are delighted to welcome an outstanding selection of
authors from Orbit, Hodder & Stoughton and Headline to the site.
Darren Nash,
the Publisher of Gateway, said: “As well as adding wonderful new authors to the
list, this expansion has also allowed Gateway to fill some major gaps in our
existing Gateway authors' oeuvres – most notably, adding 2001: A Space Odyssey to Arthur C. Clarke's offering, The Left Hand of Darkness to Ursula K.
Le Guin's and some seminal works to our Robert A. Heinlein listing – including
Hugo-winners Starship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.”
