Samuel R. Delany
“Statistically, you've got a better chance of going to Hollywood and becoming a superstar in the movies than you do of becoming a successful writer.”
Samuel R. Delany

Kim Stanley Robinson
“I consider my novels, amongst many other things, to be my political activism. I’m interested in portraying futures where there are more cooperative, altruistic, post-capitalist systems that are working well.”
Kim Stanley Robinson

Damon Galgut
“I'd like to accept this on behalf of all the stories told and untold, the writers heard and unheard, from the remarkable continent I'm part of. Please keep listening to us, there's a lot more to come.”
Damon Galgut

Ray Nayler
“The great and terrible thing about humankind is simply this: we will always do what we are capable of.”
Ray Nayler, The Mountain in the Sea

“After all, one of the great things about books is that they don’t disappear after the first year of their publication—barring floods and thieves, they can loiter forever on your shelves, waiting to be picked up and rediscovered, manic publicity cycle be damned. They can be revisited, loaned out, traded, forgotten and found. They can have strange, long lives.”
Emily Temple
