The Ghosts of Belfast to be Published in the USA by Soho Press
Friday, November 21, 2008, 6:43 PM
I'm delighted to report that THE GHOSTS OF BELFAST will be published in the USA by Soho Press, the independent New York house. Laura Hruska acquired it as part of a two-book deal from my ever-excellent agent Nat Sobel, and the book has found a wonderful home. Soho Press publish a range of literary and crime fiction, often set in foreign locales, and quite a few UK authors pitch their American tents there.
I'm particularly excited to receive this news among the doom and gloom currently shrouding the publishing industry. This report at TheBookseller.com was especially discouraging. It's good to know there are still publishers like Soho Press, and indeed Harvill Secker in the UK, who are willing to take a chance on a new author even in these uncertain times.
I'm told I'll have a cover design for the UK edition very soon, and when it appears I'll share it here along with some breaking news...

Congratulations, Stuart! (Will Soho be distributing in Canada?) I'm very excited for you!
That's wonderful, Stuart. I've got to admit I'm getting excited about seeing the book! That's a point. Will it be distributed in Oz?! We often get UK editions here.
Great news, Stuart. I'm looking forward to getting my copy as soon as they're available. If you do a publicity tour in the States, maybe I'll catch up with you and get you to sign it. All the best to you.
You're a beacon of light in the dim-lit publishing news world. Congrats!

Cool news. Congrats! I read the excerpt of the Ghost of Belfast a few months ago. I think you have a great writing voice and the story is great. Can't wait to pick it up.
OK, let me join the throng and congratulate you too. :o)
Congratulations. I remember your first sentence from Nathan's blog...the first sentence contest.
Best.
