Welcome to Moorcock's Miscellany, so-called because I reprint from time to time articles which interest me or which I've written and correspond with my 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 section if you are trying to contact me for a specific reason. Many answers to general questions can be found in the FAQ. Pictures of books, magazines which I have edited, foreign editions and so on can also be found in the Image Hive. You can get additional information about my work in the Wikiverse. Information about forthcoming books, short stories, graphic novels, movies, games or features, as well as book signings and so on can usually be found in the the Q&A section 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 by me.

 John Picacio introduced the award, saying "We're here to celebrate Mike's recognition amongst the Grandmasters of the Science Fiction Writers of America... Many great writers are measured by what came before them, but Mike's greatness continues to be measured by what has come after him. I'm not talking about his legendary Multiverse of characters and stories, but a multiverse of writers, artists, and creators worldwide that have either had their careers single-handedly launched by Mike, or been directly influenced by him at a primal level."
