kickstarter


  • We've set up a kickstarter to partly fund Aurum: a golden anthology of novellas.

    Aurumis an anthology of awesome speculative novellas by some of Australia's brightest talents. At this point we have locked in Joanne Anderton, Stephanie Gunn, Angela Rega, Lucy Sussex, and Susan Wardle, and expect to have at least a couple more awesome names before we go to print.

    3 APRIL EDIT: We are chuffed to be able to add Juliet Marillier to this star-studded line-up!

    Aurumwill be approximately 90,000 words of exceptional original fiction, all novellas (more than 7500 words) giving the writers space to develop stories and write at a length not always considered commercially acceptable. We're giving the writers an opportunity to tell the stories they want to tell, and the space they want to tell them in.

    Aurumwill be edited by the A. Bertram Chandler Award-winning editor Russell B. Farr.

    Aurumalso celebrates the 20th year in publishing for Ticonderoga. We started way back in 1996, and since then have produced over 50 titles. Aurumwas originally planned as our 50th title (hence the name) but a few other books came through and pushed it back a little. Numbers aside, Aurum will still be our golden book.

  • We've set up a kickstarter project. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/499651181/the-years-best-australian-fantasy-and-horror-6

    We need your help to become the first Australian-focussed year's best speculative fiction anthology series to publish 6 consecutive volumes.

    The Project

    The Year’s Best Australian Fantasy and Horror is over 150,000 words of the best fantasy and horror fiction written by Australians (and New Zealanders) and published all over the world in 2015. We've already done this five times for the years 2010-2014, and we'd like to do it again.

    In addition to the reprinted fiction, The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror series features an extensive introductory essay on the annual state of the genre, obituaries, a recommended reading list, and a list of Australian and New Zealand award recipients.

    It is the only volume of its kind being published in Australia at present.

    How you help

    Putting together a volume of this size, usually featuring the work of more than 30 contributors, is a big task for two editors and a small press.

    The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horrorseries is an important work, but it is also a considerable up-front cost: several thousand dollars of outgoings before a single cent comes back.

    We're doing this because we love Australian speculative fiction, we love books, and we want to keep doing this as long as we can. We're in this for the long term, but could use some help to keep this title going.

    Please consider backing us!
