The New Board: Marcher Lord Select

[Jeff Gerke]

Hey, guys.

The new Marcher Lord Select board is up and running. This is the place everyone will go to help select a novel to be published in Marcher Lord Press's fourth release cycle (April 2010).

Unlike the rest of The Anomaly, only registered members can get into the board. No one but members can even read the messages there, much less post or vote.

It's an exclusive opportunity and you guys are my core favorites to play host when (hopefully) the world of Christian speculative fiction fans will beat a path to The Anomaly.

The process will start in earnest in October or November, but you can begin talking about the idea now.

Fun to come!

As I found out doing the acquisition reading for the third list, being a part of this publishing process thing is PRETTY COOL!! I can't wait to get a chance to do it again, with discussions and debates even! Thanks again Jeff for the chance to get a glimpse inside the world of publishing and to be part of it!

(wow! that's a lot of exclimation points, maybe I should make my coffee a bit weaker in the mornings.)

I, too, think this is an awesome concept. Very exciting to be able to get a glimpse into what might be up-and-coming. Thanks for including "the people" in the process, Jeff!

[Jeff Gerke]

Power to the people, baby!

This is a fabulous idea, Jeff! I think it will also help us as writers to improve our own work as we evaluate what makes a novel Marcher Lord Press worthy. Besides, I love reading and any chance to get to read something new is a icing on the cake.
