Seven Deadly Sins (book news).
Gary Compton of Tickety-Boo Press has asked genre editor and agent John Jarrold to edit a series of original-story anthologies for Tickety-Boo Press, based on the Seven Deadly Sins. The anthologies will be published annually and will be invitational.
John Jarrold said, ‘I’ve worked in genre publishing for almost thirty years, but this is the first time I’ve ever been invited to edit an anthology – let alone seven! Tickety-Boo have already made a great reputation for themselves and Gary’s energy knows no bounds. I’m looking forward to getting stuck in, and will be starting to plan over the Christmas break.’
Gary Compton added, ‘Tickety Boo press’ new Imprint, Scarier 51, is looking to make this a yearly event and one of the best paid on the market. Subject to reaching our crowdfunding objectives we will be paying £30 per one thousand words, and once the advance is paid back authors will receive a 40% share of the royalties, pro rata. Our intention is to make these the most prestigious quality hardback collections that it is possible to achieve. We will be launching the first volume at Fantasycon at Scarborough in September 2016.’
