Robert J. Sawyer one of “The CanLit 30”

In its March 2008 issue, Quill & Quire, the Canadian publishing trade journal, published its first-ever list of “The CanLit 30: The most influential, innovative, and just plain powerful people in Canadian publishing.”

Only three authors made the 30-person list: Margaret Atwood, Douglas Coupland, and Robert J. Sawyer. The write-up about Rob says:

“When Penguin Canada snatched up domestic rights to science fiction giant Robert J. Sawyer last year, it felt like the Canuck industry was finally waking up to an entire genre. Not that Sawyer really needed the nod: he already sells more than respectably and has a shelf full of major sci-fi prizes. As a generous mentor to other writers, the proprietor of his own eponymous imprint at Red Deer Press, and a frequent media pundit, Sawyer is the public face of Canadian sci-fi.”
