Destiny extract in Star Trek Magazine

[Geoff Thorne]

Hey, defending "Spock's Brain" is my job!

Me too.

I couldn't have written SoD without that episode.

And, at this point, who ISN'T a TITAN fan, yes?

No one, that's who.

Drat, you've seen through my cunning plan to increase readership!!

I'm a fan of the ship design, the novels not so much.

Just to let everyone know that there's a longer than normal extract from the first volume of Star Trek Destiny in issue 13 of Star Trek Magazine, out in the next couple of weeks in the US, and early September in the UK. Dave Mack's also provided an introduction explaining how Destiny differs from some of the previous crossover events - and for USS Titan fans, there are two all-new images of the ship, commissioned and especially created for the extract (because I could!) The issue is an original series special, with contributions from TrekLit's Jill Sherwin, Mike Martin, KRAD, Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore, Terri Osborne and Dave Mack on Vanguard, as well as a new interview with Star Trek Logs writer Alan Dean Foster, and behind the scenes info on the new Star Trek 101 book.

There's also going to be an extract from Destiny book three in issue 14, which makes fascinating reading!

I used to buy Star Trek Monthly as it was called back in the day every single month and I think I have every single copy from about issue seven till I'd say, issue three or four of the new look magazine and it was always a good read, when you had the excepts included, I actually bought a few novels which I wouldn't have read!

I have a few questions for you though if you don't mind me asking!

Why does it get released in the States first? Is it because it's now published stateside and shipped over or another reason I can't think of at this monent in time.

Now I understand this question could be classified as cheeky, but, are there any job vacancies for reviewist or copy writers or the like on the Magazine as even though I did all but graduate on a Broadcast Journalism course I'd like to try and get my foot into the magazine publishing sector and as you are here, and I'm a true believer in the best way to find things out is to ask questions, I might as well ask. (Plus I'm still a n00b on here so I don't think I can use Private Messages)

Cheers

It's now in step with all Titan's other magazines, so basically the answer's yes.

Never any harm in asking. Drop me a line off board (paul.simpson@titanemail.com) possibly explaining what you mean by "all but graduate"... To be fair to you, and anyone else interested, we work so far in advance that I'm just commissioning material for the issue out February 2009...

Cheers and thankyou very much for that, I guessed you might have a long lead time for the magazine, but I didn't realise it was almost six months worth!

And it's nothing sinister I assure you, and even though I don't regret it, I'll leave it to tell you in my email!
