HarperCollins science fiction and fantasy imprint Harper Voyager is ramping up its Voyager Impulse digital-first line with plans to launch 31 original e-book titles beginning this summer and on through winter 2015. The novels and novellas will encompass a broad range of sci-fi and fantasy genres and Voyager Impulse e-book releases will be followed by short-run paperback editions.
Most of the titles to be released were selected from more than 4,500 manuscripts submitted to the Voyager Impulse line during a global open call for new works made by the publisher in 2012. One of the forthcoming releases is Thorn Jack by Katherine Harbor, a Florida bookseller. The book was the first acquisition by Voyager after the open call was issued. The book will also be published as a hardcover in July.
