Publisher Marie Hodgkinson started Paper Road Press to publish ‘books from beyond the beaten track’. She was looking for ‘compelling stories that explore new horizons, that poke holes in old genres and stitch them up with something new’. She likes books to ‘map out might-have-beens, could-yetbes, and wouldn’t-it-be-cool-ifs.’ Open to all forms of science fiction and fantasy, ‘all things in between – and things from the fringes, too.’ This editor likes ‘magical realism, urban fantasy, space opera, secondary worlds, time travel, myths and legends, crossovers and re-imaginings.’
