Orbit Books ha desvelado su plan editorial para el año que viene, en el que tiene pensado prácticamente duplicar su publicación de títulos de ciencia ficción, hasta una cifra de 90 títulos.
Tim Holman, del grupo Hachette, ha comentado al respecto:
There is a huge and diverse audience for SF and Fantasy out there, and it’s the perfect time to be expanding the list. Orbit is currently the fastest growing SF and Fantasy imprint in the U.S. with an increasing number of New York Times bestsellers – most recently Ann Leckie, whose debut ANCILLARY JUSTICE was also the first novel to win every major SF award. Since our launch in 2008, we have been committed to publishing the most exciting authors in the field and looking for creative ways to connect with new readers. We’re very much looking forward to building on the success we’ve had, expanding the publishing team, and welcoming more authors to the list
El éxito de esta maniobra dependerá de muchos factores, como por ejemplo la calidad de los libros publicados, pero aún así me parece una muy buena noticia.
