The Devils by Joe Abercrombie @joeabercrombie.com is a wickedly dark, action-packed fantasy, and we are ecstatic to have it as our May 2025 GSFF pick.
This brutal, brilliantly paced novel blends sharp wit, relentless violence, and unexpected heart, creating a tale as hilarious as it is harrowing.

Thought I'd demystify publishing language for debuts.
'Structural edit' = rewrite your book
'Line edit' = all these sentences are wrong
'Copy edit' = your chronology is wrong
'Proof read' = there are still loads of errors
'Second proof read' = how the hell is your punctuation still up the spout?

I want one of those "surprise you have magical abilities" young adult books but about a full grown adult. A coming-of-middle-age tale. On his 40th birthday he finds out he's a wizard and is like, "cool but I can't really go to boarding school right now, I've used most of my vacation days already."
