The Space Between Worlds

POSITIONING
A thrilling, high-concept sci-fi novel, with heart, intelligence and insight, exploring social issues such as race, poverty, sexuality, and the variable circumstances that leads someone to thrive in one reality and perish in another,

STRATEGY
We struggled publishing this in hardback during lockdown, and we would really like to make Waterstones our focus for the paperback and actively engage booksellers early on to ensure enthusiasm and support, With a new refreshed cover look for the paperback, we plan to run ebook activity ahead of the paperback publication to raise the profile and visibility of this title within the SFF community,
