New client website goes live: www.Iain-Banks.net
Posted on February 20th, 2008 at 12:43
It gives me immense pleasure to announce that, as of earlier this month, I have been appointed by Orbit Books as webguy to one of the UK's best-loved and best-selling authors - and one of my own favourite authors, as well - Iain [M] Banks.
For anyone not in the know: the '[M]' is because Iain has two distinct writing personas. As 'Iain Banks' he writes edgy, intensely character-driven, wry-humour saturated mainstream fiction, and as 'Iain M Banks' he writes some of the finest science fiction / space opera / literature-of-ideas stuff around.
The new site is Iain's official, publisher-driven web presence, incorporating both elements of Iain's writing canon. As well as running up the initial design (except the header, which has been provided by Alex Lencicki of Orbit's US office) and managing the Wordpress installation, I'll be keeping the site topped-up on an ongoing basis, with news about Iain's forthcoming appearances and future publications, as well as plenty of links out to reviews, interviews and Banks-related coverage elsewhere on the 'Net... the full website content management service.
Here's a screen-shot of the new homepage. Feedback is most definitely welcome, please do drop me a line via the contact page on the site if you have any suggestions for additional content and / or site features that you'd like to see.
