Angry Robot change
« on: May 15, 2010, 12:41:19 PM »
I see that Angry Robot, the UK indy sff publisher has been sold by HarperCollins to a war books publisher.

Waht do people think about this move - good thing or bad thing for the AR people and their authors?

Smaller backer, can't be a good thing, eh? Less money for advance and marketing?

On the other hand, a niche publisher might be more able to get their head around an indie vibe.

Big corporates aren't so hot at that.
