PS Publishing celebrates double British Fantasy Society Award win

We’re delighted to announce that everyone here at PS Publishing is celebrating a handsome brace of awards at the 2007 British Fantasy Awards, which were announced yesterday, at the awards & closing ceremony of this year’s British Fantasy Convention, Fantasycon.
The first award, for Best Non-Fiction, went to Mark Morris, for his editorial work on Cinema Macabre, our collection of short essay pieces on the subject of horror cinema, written by some of the top international names in the horror genre.
Mark said how delighted he was to win the British Fantasy award and have it presented at Fantasycon, especially as the project was conceived (in the bar), planned (in the bar) and launched (again…) at various Fantasycons over the last three years…
The second award – Best Small Press – was accepted by our very own Pete Crowther on behalf of all of us here at PS Publishing. Pete paid tribute to the extremely strong field of shortlisted nominees, whose consistently excellent work throughout the year is a constant incentive for us all here at PS Publishing to make damn sure that we never rest on our laurels and work our fingers to the bone to keep bringing out as wide and as excellent a range of titles as we possibly can. I’ll post a comment from the man himself just as soon as he gets back to the office, but I think ‘chuffed to bits’ is a pretty good summary for now…
We’d also like to heartily congratulate Joe Hill on winning the inaugural Sidney J. Bounds Award for Best Newcomer. We still have a few paperback copies of 20th Century Ghosts left in stock, folks, if you want to grab yourself a piece of this incredibly talented rising star’s publishing history!
Likewise Vincent Chong on winning a thoroughly deserved Best Artist Award. Vincent’s artwork has graced several of our covers to-date and will certainly be gracing a fair few more in the future…
Full details of all the winners have been posted over at UK SF Book News.

[...] PS Publishing, which released 20th Century Ghosts in its first incarnation, was awarded the grand prize for best small press, so I’m chuffed for them as well. My congrats to PS mastermind Peter Crowther, one of the hardest working guys in all of publishing… and one of the most decent. [...]
