Australia's ‘dean of science fiction’ truly broadens the range of
science fiction at Fictionwise.”

has agreed to grant rights to ten additional stories, all of them
award winning or award nominated stories, including: one Hugo winner,

warm and friendly relationship with Fictionwise and you'll be seeing
plenty of my work there in the years ahead."
“Silverberg’s stories are always popular, and
