Quick Update: Big News
As announced here and mentioned elsewhere, I have recently accepted the offer of a full-time position with the UK's largest, best-selling genre fiction imprint, Orbit Books.
As of April 7th I will be taking up the post of (online) Marketing Exec, working full-time on a wide range of online promotional projects right across their list of top sf, fantasy and horror writing talent.
It's an incredible opportunity for me and one that's probably about as exciting as it gets. I'll be able to do exactly the sort of work I love doing across a wide and varied range of projects in an incredibly vibrant and creative industry. As you can probably tell, I'm looking forward to it immensely.
The only down-side is that as a result I'll have to stop working for my current client roster; except for the Orbit authors whose websites I'm already looking after who I'll continue to work with in my new post.
Making those calls and sending those emails was a bit of a wrench, but every single one of my clients has wished me nothing but success for the future and they're all delighted that I've landed what amounts to my dream job. Have I mentioned what a great bunch of people my clients are (or rather, have been)?
But then, that's genre authors for you - the pick of the crop, as far as I'm concerned...
