After a slight technical hitch, we’re back. Our website went down, but we pushed the red shiny button and – well – it’s up again. But we haven’t exactly been idle while our web presence disappeared into the vacuum.
Things are back in full swing at CDL after the holiday break and we’re working towards the release of [...]

We’re pretty excited that coeur de lion publisher Keith Stevenson has been invited to be a guest of honour at Conflux 8, which will be held in Canberra on the weekend of 29/30 September, 2012. With the theme of ‘on the beach’ and a promise to party like there’s no tomorrow – which could be the [...]
Editing and publishing a book is kind of like climbing a mountain: one step at a time and keep your eyes on the summit. Well that peak is so close we can almost touch it. And the view is particularly lovely.

Coming November 2011
The good people at futuristic website io9.com are well-balanced, right-thinking individuals. This is clearly shown by their recent rant about why we need more space adventure. It’s true that this year is the first since the 80s where there is no live action space-based TV drama on our screens (nope, Fallen Skies does [...]
Things are coming down to the pointy end now. We’ve just completed the structural edits, and authors are working through our comments and providing redrafted material. Next up will be a copy edit then layout and final proofing. The wrinkle is that with a paper book and an ebook slated for this title that’s twice the [...]

It has been a long, long haul. A twelve month reading period where we’ve received and read over 300 submissions from all over the world, but the dust is finally settling and we’re almost finalised our decisions. For statisticians among you the selection rate for stories submitted was a smidge under 9%, which is pretty normal [...]
It’s just over a month to the close of submissions for our new science fiction anthology Anywhere But Earth, so to celebrate we’re revealing the first cover mockup to an anxious public, and we think it looks pretty cool.

We’re in the long straight in terms of reading for Anywhere But Earth and the submissions are coming in thick and fast but quality is patchy. Since our last update, I’ve added only four new stories to the ABE line-up:
‘Sibo’ by Penny Love
‘Alien Tears’ by Wendy Waring
‘Hatchway’ by Simon Petrie, and
‘Eating Gnashdal’ by Jason Fischer.
