Paul
Barnett to Leave SFF art publishing imprint Paper Tiger
Paul Barnett, who has been Commissioning Editor of Paper Tiger
since 1997, has decided to give up his role as of the end of March
2003.
 Colin
Ziegler, Director - Adult Trade Publishing at Chrysalis Books, of
which Paper Tiger is a part, said:
“This is obviously a sad day for us and it feels like the end of
an era. Paul has been an incredible asset to Paper Tiger over the
years and we will all miss him.
We wish him the best of luck with his future plans and very much
hope that he will continue his close association with Paper Tiger
by working with us on a number of individual titles in the future.”
Paul Barnett commented;
 “I’m
obviously sad to give up my role at Paper Tiger, since I love the
list and the vision underlying it, but I came to the conclusion
it was time to move on.
Although editing the list for the past six years has been immensely
satisfying, it’s also been a period during which I’ve been able
to do very little of my own writing, and the list of books I wanted
to write ‘one day when I have the time’ had grown too long for comfort.
A couple of publishers were already offering contracts, and this
crystallized my realization that, if I didn’t make a move, the ‘one
day’ might never come. That said, I’m very much looking forward
also to maintaining an association with, and working on individual
books for, Paper Tiger, a list of which I shall always be a friend.
In that way and in others I hope, too, to continue to serve the
fantasy art community, which has become an integral part of my life.”
From April 2003, the main point of contact for Paper Tiger will
be Chris Stone.
