John Bowen

https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?869322; Should have (21st century) added to author; other edition has it to differ this Bowen from the older one. --Username (talk) 11:22, 13 January 2024 (EST)

Yep - thanks. Fixed. Annie (talk) 17:59, 29 January 2024 (EST)

Fixer addition

Annie, I have Water Dragon Publishing reasonably complete, but it should be added to Fixer's list. I'm pinging you since you post all the requests on Fixer's talk page. John Scifibones 11:37, 12 February 2024 (EST)

I will ask it to be added to the recognized publishers - if it is not there already :) Which may or may not help - there are way too many of them. Not being on the list does not mean that it is ignored at the moment. The requests on the Talk page of Fixer are cleanup and not really how we add publishers to the recognized list. :) Annie (talk) 11:39, 12 February 2024 (EST)

Water Dragon Publishing has been added to Fixer's "Recognized Publishers" list. Ahasuerus (talk) 18:02, 22 February 2024 (EST)

Upcoming Tor UK subimprints

Just a very early heads up on Bramble and Nightfire UK; article says their first title is due November, so I guess it'll be a while before Fixer finds anything for them, although perhaps ebooks might show up earlier if they decide to make those simultaneous with US releases?

Apologies if my inactivity here is causing you extra workload; I haven't completely given up on contributing, but (a) dealing with current events have been taking more of my time, and (b) I'd already decided at the end of last year that I just couldn't work up the enthusiasm to work on the endless stream of stuff that the UK publishers are now putting out that I have zero interest in. I do intend to try to fill in any gaps in UK coverage up to the end of 2023, and to submit 2024+ pubs that are things I have an interest in - which I don't think is *that* different from what most editors here do? - but someone else can deal with all the romantasy etc stuff, hopefully not just you alone...

People do what they are interested in :) Hopefully once Fixer gets rewritten, we will get a few more people working on new books but it is what it is.

Too early to even think of this imprint and I suspect that the US side will see them as Tor anyway - so we shall see them. But I will get the name to Fixer to be added to the recognized publishers. Annie (talk) 10:17, 22 February 2024 (EST)

Jo Fletcher Books no more?

Just FYI, from the new issue of Ansible:

   Jo Fletcher is suffering the traditional fate of departed founding editors: Quercus has mass-emailed past and present Jo Fletcher Books authors with the ‘exciting news’ that JFB is being rebranded this month – or rather, absorbed into the parent company’s existing imprint Arcadia.

I've never heard of Arcadia, although the Bookseller indicates that the parent Quercus division acquired it in September 2021m and it's in the database. I see the Twitter username has been changed, but not the display name is still Jo Fletcher Books. The JFB corporate site seems unchanged, and Amazon currently lists a June 2024 pub as from JFB.

I'll update the publisher notes for both in a minute... ErsatzCulture (talk) 11:42, 1 March 2024 (EST)
