Anyway, even though I won't be attending, I'm excited about Readercon. There's the Shirley Jackson Awards, and the Prime Books both will be having copies of Philippine Speculative Fiction IV and A Time for Dragons (just sent them around 5 copies though so...).

Does that mean I can buy one of the five PSF books you sent to Prime Books online?
ReplyDeleteI wish you can have PSF available for purchase online so that Pinoy Spec Fic fans overseas can also get the books. A downloadble PDF format would suffice is shipping the books would be too expensive.
Hi Katya!
ReplyDeleteIt means that if you're attending Readercon, you can grab one of the copies at their booth.
As for PSF, unfortunately, I'm not the publisher.
