PS Publishing News

Ooh:

Thanks to some very valuable support from the Arts Council of England, we’re going to launch a new digest-sized, quarterly fiction magazine around springtime.

The magazine’s working title is 'Postscripts' and it will feature around 60,000 words of fiction (SF, Fantasy, Horror and Crime/Suspense), plus a guest editorial, book reviews and occasional non fiction.

New short fiction outlets are always exciting, but they're particularly so when backed by a critically acclaimed and financially stable publisher, even if 'only' a small press house. I'll be looking out for this, I think.

Doctor Who

I suppose I should mention this:

Cult science fiction series Doctor Who is returning to to TV, 14 years after it was axed.

The much-awaited comeback will be written by acclaimed TV dramatist Russell T Davies - a self-confessed fan.

They're talking about a series airing in 2005. I'm conflicted. Frankly, I couldn't care less about new Who - but after The Second Coming, I'm very interested in seeing whatever Russell T Davies does next. I'd rather it was an original work, but I'll take what I can get.

Imsoc has acquired a collaborative music news blog thing. Which is quite cool. Sadly, however, it doesn't seem to have an RSS feed.
