Lee Harris is the editor with Angry Robot Books. A science fiction and fantasy publisher, based in the UK, but publishing worldwide, Angry Robot titles have won many awards, including the Arthur C Clarke Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 2011.
Lee also founded Hub Magazine – a monthly short fiction dead tree zine, which became a weekly online publication before half-collapsing at around issue 150.
He loves mince pies, but hates dried fruit, and no, he doesn’t understand that, either.

“Most editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.”– TS Eliot
Another Farscape fan! It was an under-appreciated show. One of my favorites.
