Bruce McAllister is well known in the world of science fiction and fantasy. His novelette Dream Baby was a finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards, and when expanded into a novel it won a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship. Publisher’s Weekly called Dream Baby “A stunning tour de force.” His first novel, Humanity Prime, was chosen by legendary editor Terry Carr as one of the Ace Science Fiction Specials, alongside such talents as Roger Zelazny and Ursula K. LeGuin. His short story “The Boy in Zaquitos” was reprinted in Best American Short Stories 2007, edited by Stephen King. These days he coaches other successful writers in Southern California.
Bruce recently decided to take a flyer into the indie publishing world. He chose the name Archangel Media for his new enterprise, and I designed the logo on the left for him. Archangel Media, in turn, has just published two of Bruce's short stories, with covers and interior formatting and design by Zone 1.
