Solaris Put Up For Sale

March 2nd, 2009

The Solaris SF/F imprint has been put up for sale by its owner, Games Workshop. Solaris is publishing Lord of Silence in July, and I’m told that publication will still go ahead, as will every book announced up to early 2010.

    Very sad indeed – I do hope someone strong and sensible buys it as it is such a good diverse publisher.

    It would be a good buy for a company that doesn’t have an sf/f imprint.
