PS Publishing triumphant at British Fantasy Awards!

I may be many miles away from FantasyCon, but thanks to the magic powers of the internet news has arrived at my publicist’s garret that PS Publishing made a very strong showing in this year’s British Fantasy Awards!
The full results can be seen over on the BFS blog, but I’m sure you’ll forgive me for cherrypicking our moments of glory from the set:
- Best Novella: Conrad Williams for The Scalding Rooms [last few hardcover editions left in stock!]
- Best Novel: ‘The August Derleth Fantasy Award’: Ramsey Campbell for The Grin of The Dark [last few slipcased editions left in stock!]
But the jewel in the crown – from where I’m sitting, at least – is this one:
- Best Small Press: Peter Crowther, PS Publishing
I’m positive Pete must be over the moon at being recognised for his hard work, and as someone with an inkling of just how much hard work goes into running PS, I can assure you it’s well deserved.
But it’s not all about us! It’s great to see that small presses and independent operators have made their presence felt in the final results, and on behalf of the whole PS Publishing team I’d like to congratulate everyone, winners and nominees in all categories alike.
After all, we’re all working toward the same goal in the end: producing great books for people to enjoy. And – at the risk of sounding a little schmaltzy – that’s it’s own reward, in and of itself.
