Congratulations, Marc Gascoigne!

I learned from LinkedIn earlier today that Marc -- the former Publisher of Solaris and related imprints -- had been hired as a Publishing Director by HarperCollins. It seemed like another shoe was about to drop, so I didn't say anything.

Then Publishers Lunch (a free e-mail newsletter of the business) had this to say an hour or so ago:
Harper UK is starting a new science fiction imprint, Angry Robot, launching in July 2009. Former publisher of Games Workshop's Solaris and Black Library imprints Marc Gascoigne is running the new line, reporting to managing director Amanda Ridout. Taking a place alongside Harper's Voyager imprint, the new label "will be building the next wave of authors," Gascoigne says. They plan to sell print and digital versions directly from their website in addition to standard retail channels.
Congratulations, Marc!
