Angry Robot authors announced for the Sci-Fi Weekender

Emma Newman

In 2011 Emma embarked on an ambitious project to write and distribute one short story per week – all of them set in her Split Worlds milieu – completely free to her mailing list subscribers.

A debut short-story collection, From Dark Places, was published in 2011 and her debut post-apocalyptic novel for young adults, 20 Years Later, was published just one year later – presumably Emma didn’t want to wait another nineteen… Emma is also a professional audiobook narrator.

In 2013, Angry Robot will be publishing her Split Worlds urban fantasy trilogy, the first of which - Between Two Thorns - will be launched at the Sci-Fi Weekender!

Lee Harris

Lee Harris is the editor at Angry Robot - an award-winning global science fiction and fantasy imprint that publishes the best in brand-new genre fiction. He also published Hub Magazine for around 150 issues, and is the current Chair of the British Fantasy Society.

David Tallerman

David Tallerman was born and raised in the northeast of England. A long and confused period of education ended with an MA dissertation on the literary history of seventeenth century witchcraft that somehow incorporated references to both Kate Bush and H P Lovecraft.

Over the last few years, David has been steadily building a reputation for his genre short fiction and increasingly his writing has tended to push and merge genres, and to incorporate influences from his other great loves, comic books and cinema. He is the author of the popular Easie Damasco series of books, which include Giant Thief and Crown Thief.

Lavie Tidhar

Israeli-born writer Lavie Tidhar has been called an “emerging master” by Locus magazine, and has quickly established a name for himself as a short fiction writer of some note. He is the multiple award winning author of Osama, The Bookman Histories, and other novels, novellas and short stories too numerous to mention. He has won the British Fantasy Award, the Geffen Award and is currently shortlisted for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel.

Guy Haley

An experienced Science Fiction journalist, critic, and novelist Guy worked for SFX Magazine as deputy editor, he edited gaming magazine White Dwarf, and was the editor of Death Ray Magazine. He lives in Somerset with his wife, young son, and an enormous, evil-tempered Norwegian forest cat called, ironically, Buddy.

He has written science fiction novels for Angry Robot, Solaris and Black Library, which include Reality 36 and Champion of Mars.

Amanda Rutter

Editor at Angry Robot's sister imprint, Strange Chemistry. Until recently a tireless blogger at Floor to Ceiling Books, and a freelance editor with Morrigan, Amanda continues to blog for Tor.com while she builds an imprint that threatens to take over the world!

Jonathan L Howard

Jonathan L Howard is a game designer, scriptwriter, and a veteran of the computer games industry since the early 1990s, with titles such as the Broken Sword series to his credit.

After publishing two short stories featuring Johannes Cabal (Johannes Cabal and the Blustery Day and Exeunt Demon King) in H. P. Lovecraft’s Magazine of Horror, Johannes Cabal the Necromancer was published in 2009 as his first novel.

This was followed by Johannes Cabal the Detective in 2010 and Johannes Cabal the Fear Institute in 2011. In 2012 he wrote Katya's World for Strange Chemistry.
