Garth Nix

A reminder that I very rarely use x/twitter these days. I do not message people here or anywhere else offering publishing advice, services etc, whoever is doing this is a scammer. I am on Facebook and Blue Sky but check for imposters there too.

@phgrrl_2015 It’s up to HarperCollins. I’ll pass that along.

@garthnix Thank you for doing this. Would you consider doing this for StoryGraph as well?

For US readers: Want to read MASSIF early? There is an ARC giveaway over at Goodreads, 100 copies! goodreads.com/giveaway/show/…

@ERNESTO4471 I do, thank you!

@garthnix Fabulous. I hope you like the cover design @garthnix

@JordanBraginton Unfortunately LucasFilm (Disney) own the Seventh Tower books in their entirety, and they have shown no interest in republishing them. There are still second-hand copies around, particularly of the UK edition.

@garthnix hi! My kids and I love your 7th tower books. I have has them since I was a kid, but I worry about my copies getting ruined. Anyway I could get a digital copy?

@TheEscherMan Hang in there! I’m forty books along the way, or something like that.

@garthnix Damn, there goes my chance.

I am honoured to have been granted the Medal of the Order of Australia for “services to literature as an author”.

@TheEscherMan The medal is more like the page level (not even a squire) 😀 but good thinking

@garthnix I believe a knight can make a knight, so pretty sure you can start handing these medals out now.

@ScottWesterfeld Got to go up a few levels for any of that 😀

@garthnix Yowza! Are you going with M'Lord, Sir Garth, or Generalissimo?

These are going to be really beautiful books. Today’s reveal is the wonderful endpaper art by @LJTolton Twelve fabulous images, front and back endpapers for each of the six Old Kingdom books.

Over 18 months in the making! Preorders are open and @garthnix is hand signing every copy (thank you Garth!).
