^That's great news.

Thanks for all the information.

I have a lot of reading to do tonight.

Congrats again, Christopher. I usually don't read sci-fi, except Star Trek and Star Wars, but since it's yours, I'll probably be ordering it when the time comes.

Congratulations Christopher and good luck with the novel.

I've just learned that the publication date for Only Superhuman will be October 2012. Too late for next year's Shore Leave, alas, but just in time for the New York Comic-Con (assuming they don't move it).

Cool, that's great news, Christopher. Will Tor be releasing it as an eBook as well?

I don't see why not, but Greg or Marco could answer that question better than I could.

JD · August 19 2011, 12:06 AM

Cool! This is definitely a must read for me.

Thrawn · August 19 2011, 01:40 AM

^ Me too. I love Christopher's stuff.

Christopher · August 19 2011, 02:28 AM

Oops, turns out the publication date I gave above is tentative. We'll have to wait and see if it sticks.

Does that mean it may never see the light of day then?

Christopher · August 19 2011, 03:30 PM

^No, it just means the release date might be different.

Absolutely not. It's just that the Fall 2012 schedule hasn't been officially finalized yet, so it's always possible that some pub dates might get shifted around a bit, depending on whatever. Maybe the book will come out in September or November instead. Or, worst case scenario, bumped to January . . . which is unlikely.

It all depends on what the overall list ends up looking like.

"Hmm. Another book is running late and we have an open slot in September. Christopher's book is ready, right? Let's move that one up a few months."

That kind of thing . . . .

Christopher · August 19 2011, 10:11 PM

So it's "October 2012, give or take a month, probably," eh?

WHAT? You mean that publishing schedules are not planned out years -- if not decades -- in advance by the Gods of Publishing? You mean publishing works like any other business, and adapts to take advantage of last-minute changes and conditions?

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

BTW Greg, you didn't, by any chance, edit Scalzi's Fuzzy Nation, did you? If not, can you reveal who did? (Just to satisfy my curiosity, I don't have any stalkeresque motives.)
