I just got this request from someone we all know:
I have a question for you. I need to submit a list of authors I would like us to go after as hot prospects to write the books for our BSG prequel, Caprica. Do you have a sense of who the up-and-comers are in the sci fi novel world? I'd love any trail you can put me onto!
Any names I can send her way? They need to be published sci fi authors, but can be on the new side.
Jacob!
Ha, that would be a hoot.
Would David Schwartz count as an upcoming sci-fi writer?
I was just going to say Knut!
Fuzzy Dunlop(Nope, just showing off for Corwood)
Martha Wells!
Jamie Scott & Holly Duncan. (They wrote a couple of very solid SG-1 novels.)
Karen Traviss. She's written original and a bunch of apparently very good Star Wars novels.
Would David Schwartz count as an upcoming sci-fi writer?
He's Nebula-nominated! I think so. Pimp the Knut!
I love them and would buy them tomorrow.
