Space Cat Tours British Science Festival
We’re stoked to be joining the British Science Festival 2022 next week. Celebrating everything scientific, this wonderful festival is open to everyone, offering over 100 FREE talks, activities, etc. Here's a quick peek at 10 of their space-themed events!
Rosetta Cover Reveal
We’ve been busy in the engine room this past month, prepping our latest book for launch. It’s a collection of prose and poetry about ESA’s Rosetta mission by Space Cat’s poet and editor, Siobhan Logan. Dabbing away the oil spots and polishing the chrome, we’re finally ready to share the cover design with you. And note the brand-new title too!
Space Cat Salutes ESA Rosetta Mission
At a time when climate change challenges to our planet are starkly evident, it’s good to be reminded of what humanity can achieve when we build on shared scientific knowledge. The European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission 2004-16 showed what was possible with transnational co-operation and ingenuity. Next month Space Cat Press will celebrate this mission with a collection of poetry and prose called ‘ROSETTA: Voyage to a Comet’s Underworld’. The book will launch at the British Science Festival 2022 in Leicester.

Cake and Call to Action
Thank you all for the lovely birthday messages this week. If any of you are interested in writing testimonials about our work, we'd love to have them. We're also looking for reviewers who are interested in arc copies of our upcoming Severed Souls anthology.

Taking to the Skies Once More…
Last weekend, the Space Cat team met up for our first meeting of 2022. Fuelled by delicious coffee and cake, we reacquainted ourselves with the progress we had made before we had to halt production and we developed a flight plan for the rest of the year.
A Month of Otherworldliness
It's been exactly a month since we opened the submission window for our second anthology and started accepting submissions based on the theme of 'Aliens & Otherness'. To mark the date, we wanted to discuss the theme a bit more and to catch those of you not on our mailing list up on our news.
Theme Breakdown!
Submissions to our second anthology are now OPEN! As many of you may have seen, we released the theme and submission window dates a few weeks ago: https://twitter.com/SpaceCatPress/status/1350492033765535746 But we deliberately didn't go into more detail about what 'Alien & Otherness' meant because we wanted to give you all time to interpret it yourself before … Continue reading Theme Breakdown!
