We are delighted to announce that Marcus Gipps, the publishing director at Gollancz, has joined The Broken Binding.
He will be working on the Broken Binding Press, on a part time basis, from March 2025. From next year, Marcus will be working with us on four to five fantasy and SF titles. These will be a mix of agented and self-published books. Marcus will continue to work on a part time basis as a consultant for Gollancz from April this year.
Matt Holland, the owner and founder of The Broken Binding said: "It’s an incredible honour to welcome such an industry legend to the team. I’ve long been a fan of Marcus and his passion for core, quality science fiction and fantasy. He really understands what genre fans want, and I believe he’s the perfect fit to take our indie press to the next level."
Gipps added: "After an amazing 14 years at Gollancz, including winning the first-ever Nibbie for a genre imprint, I was thrilled to connect with Matt Holland at The Broken Binding, and be part of his ambitious plans to grow his hugely successful companies. To also be able to keep my connection with Gollancz and my authors is the icing on the cake, and I’m looking forward to enjoying both roles."
