Some good news….

… which I cannot tell you about, just yet, but it's made a rather glorious day!
EDIT: the British Fantasy Awards 2011 long-list has been announced… with three nominations in the Best Novella category, plus two artists in the Artist list and a personal one for Best Small Press, which I'm always pleased to see but pretty much know that someone else will win it – just hoping either Paul, Terry or David pick up the Novella gong.
If any BFS members are reading this, then contact me for a free PDF reading copy of any of the nominated titles.

Overseas Postage… again…

After much thinking (an act which is very rare for me to do!) and some HTML wizardry from my web-guy, the free international postage has been withdrawn. Naturally, this will be a blow, but in all honesty the free surface mail offer that had been running for the last few months were causing me a few headaches with messages from concerned customers, etc.
In an attempt to placate you lovely overseas readers, the rates you pay are still subsidised from the Pendragon purse – and airmail is expensive, even with the special paper rate that the Royal Mail offer. In addition, if for example, you live in the US and purchased two books at £10 combined postage, then I will refund you upon my visit to the post office the difference (if any) between the £10 you paid and the actual amount it cost.
UK and Irish customers will still receive the free postage, and with regard to the chapbooks then no matter where you live then you will still pay no postage.
I hope this doesn't put off too many of you potential purchasers from overseas – as stated above, the individual rate is pretty much subsidised but an order of multiple books will receive a refund of the difference.

Rather surprisingly it must be said, but after my call-out for new editors I actually received a few queries… and will be making a full announcement soon!

Overseas Postage

Well, I thought it would be helping but in fact free surface mail is becoming quite a stumbling block; the cost Pendragon can absorb, but it's the huge delay which many customers seem to be experiencing which is causing some concern.
At the moment, it will stay but I foresee switching to airmail has standard sooner rather than latter which means, unfortunately, no free shipping. Looking into the situation and costs, and hopefully will have a solution which is cost-effective for all concerned – most importantly, you the overseas reader!

Editorial Opportunity

Do you have a passion for sf, horror and fantasy literature? Do you have a good grasp of spelling and grammar – at least equal to my own, though preferably better!
Looking for new editors to work with authors from initial submission to final, print-ready manuscript. Would you like to be involved?
In all honesty, there will be money involved, but not a whole lot.
Especially interested to hear from you if you'd like to become a Pendragon convention table monkey – of which your attendance will at least be paid to the point where your convention attendance and reasonable expenses covered.
If interested, then send some info about yourself to: chris [at] pendragonpress [dot] net.
Sense of humour a must.

Electronic Editions
Posted by Chris on February 12, 2011 at 22:50
Posted in: Book News, General
Well, after some thought and a few comments online and offline, I've decided to offer the first two chapbooks – The Red House by David J Thacker and Angels of the Silences by Simon Bestwick – available has PDF electronic editions for the princely sum of £1.
Essentially, this will work thus: you purchase and then I will personally e-mail the PDF to you. At the moment it isn't automatic, though if I am online when your order comes through then you will pretty much receive the document within minutes.
Of course, you don't need an e-reader to view these e-books since being a PDF file then they can be read on any PC with the right software installed (and the official Adobe reader is free of charge).
Needless to say, please do not e-mail your copy of the PDF to your friends, family or colleagues: these are still protected by copyright, and to be quite frank, a pound will not break the bank.
