Welcome to Moorcock's Miscellany, so-called (1) because I reprint from time to time articles which interest me and (2) because it contains discussion and information about my work. In the Q&A forum, I discuss my own work and pretty much every other subject with readers. I'm sorry that it's impossible for me to carry on long email correspondence with readers, but I can be contacted via the Q&A forum if you are trying to contact me for a specific reason. Pictures of books, magazines which I have edited, foreign editions and so on can also be found in the Image Hive. If you have rare material to share for this, it will be welcome! You can get additional information about my work in the Wikiverse.
Information about forthcoming books, short stories, reviews, interviews, graphic novels, movies, games or features, as well as book signings and so on can usually be found in the the Q&A forum of this site. From time to time, either to support various charities or to support this site, we run auctions, usually of scarcer books and other material.
Please note that I'm not in a position to read unsolicited manuscripts, books or proof copies and if they are sent to me, they won't be read. I'm sorry about this but the amount of unsolicited work sent to me for comment, testimonials and so on has become impossible to handle. If you wish to contact me professionally from anywhere in the world, learn how by visiting the Contact Policy page.
Michael Moorcock,
1st April 2009

Courtesy of the generous folk at PM Press, we have three copies of Michael Moorcock's new book, London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction to give away.
To be in with a chance of winning the second copy we want you to do submit a list of as many unique words (of two or more letters) you can find in the words 'London Peculiar'. The entry received by the closing date with the highest score wins a copy of London Peculiar.
Valid words are those found in a single standard dictionary (e.g. British English; US English; French; German; Spanish etc) as long as the Roman alphabet is used. Only one dictionary can be used, so no British/US English intermixing or English plus French or the like.
More info can be found in the Q&A thread London Peculiar Contest #2: LIP ORACLE DUNNO
Good luck everyone.

Courtesy of the generous folk at PM Press, we have three copies of Michael Moorcock's new book, London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction to give away.
To be in with a chance of winning the first copy, we've devised a small 'scavenger hunt' style contest for you all. To enter, all you have to do is take a photograph of any of Mike's books 'in the wild', that is, on a shelf in a public space. For the purposes of this contest, 'public space' includes retail bookshops, second-hand bookshops, public libraries, etc. It does not include private homes and/or offices. All photographs must be taken within the duration of the contest.
More info can be found in the Q&A thread London Peculiar Contest #1: HUNT THE MOORCOCK.
Good luck and happy hunting!

It is with great pleasure - and much gratitude to Mike and PM Press - that we're able to give everyone a special preview of Mike's forth-coming collection London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction by sharing Iain Sinclair's Introduction, 'The Man on the Stairs' with you all here first.
The Man on the Stairs: An Introduction to Michael Moorcock by Iain Sinclair
In London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction, Michael Moorcock personally selects the best of his published, unpublished, and uncensored essays, articles, reviews, and opinions covering a wide range of subjects: books, films, politics, reminiscences of old friends, and attacks on new foes. Drawn from over fifty years of writing, including his most recent work from the pages of the Los Angeles Times, and the Guardian, along with obscure and now unobtainable sources, the pieces in London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction include:
* The first appearance in English of a review of R. Crumb’s Genesis (previously only available in French)
* A previously unpublished review of Angus Wilson’s No Laughing Matter
* An introduction to the online 'Paraxis' (not yet in print elsewhere)
* The first appearance in English of the Introduction to Titus Alone (previously only available in German)
* A 2008 review (now unavailable) of Alan Wall’s Sylvie’s Riddle
* An introduction to Barrington Bayley from a now defunct site
* A previously unpublished review of Iain Sinclair’s The Falconer and Slow Chocolate Autopsy
* A forthcoming Introduction to Rudolf Nassauer’s The Hooligan
London Peculiar and Other Nonfiction will be published in the USA by PM Press and in the UK by Merlin Press in March 2012.
An ebook edition is currently available from the PM Press web site. (Other formats for the Kindle, etc. will be forthcoming.)
