Tuesday, March 14, 2006 - More Apodis News (Plus Fiction and a Movie)

For a limited time, I'll be offering reduced rates for Apodis' book publishing services. At the moment, the package runs $489 US, but for the next few titles I accept the price will be $289, which is significantly lower than the bulk of POD publishers out there.

But why? Well, the goal is to spread some awareness about Apodis and, hopefully, expand the catalogue. At the moment, Apodis has published a book written by me and has one in the pipeline: an anthology edited by me. Frankly, I'm sick of me. My goal in setting up this company was to help other new writers get some exposure, so it'd be nice to fill out the catalogue with some names other than Terrill.

So, if you know of any science fiction writers who are looking into self-publication, be sure to point them towards this post or the Apodis Publishing website.

Somewhat related tangent: Thanks to the anthology, I've had the luck to become familiar with the fiction of two very talented writers who, frankly, are everywhere. Run down the list of paying markets over at Ralan and you'll find that, between the two of them, they've been published at almost every single one. I've become a fan of their work and, since they'll both by appearing in Goodbye, Darwin, I thought I'd share some of their short fiction that's online.

David McGillveray's "His Whore The Vector" is over at Futurismic. It's one of the best shorts I've read in a while. (David, if you ever come across this, I'd cut off my arm to have the reprint rights for this. My left arm. I need the right.)

Ian Donnell Arbuckle's "That Old Silk Hat" is at Speculative.ca. Now, in case you're keeping track, Speculative has published four pieces of fiction. The first was "Between Eternities", by yours truly. The second was "Twice A God", by the aforementioned McGillveray. The third was "Remersion" by Jonathan Laden (also a very talented writer who I've seen around the web), who also happens to edit a magazine called Fictitious Force, which rejected "Between Eternities" before I sent it off to Speculative. Finally, #4 was "That Old Silk Hat". Infer from this what you will. (Note: Conspiracies abound.)

Entirely unrelated tangent: I have to recommend another fantastic movie.
