July Update for Far Orbit Apogee

I just wanted to post an update on the publishing progress for Far Orbit Apogee, the second volume in our Far Orbit science fiction anthology series. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the stories in this volume and how smoothly the pre-production processes are moving. 

1. First of all, we have a launch date:  October 13, 2015!
   
2. Cover art has been finalized and the big cover reveal event will be next month.  Please contact me or Elizabeth Wagner, the World Weaver Press publicist if you would like to participate in the reveal event.
   
3. We have also finalized the copy for the back cover.  You can see the text below.
4. Contracts and page proofs are being finalized and should go out to authors later this week.   
5. Once we have everyone under contract, we will reveal the author names and the Table of Contents.
6. And finally, World Weaver Press has agreed to publish a third Far Orbit anthology:  Far Orbit Perigee.  The open submission period will be January 1, 2016 through March 31, 2016.  So, warm up your word processor and start writing!
