Welcome to Moorcock's Miscellany, so-called because I reprint from time to time articles which interest me or which I've written and correspond with my readers. I'm sorry that it's impossible for me to carry on long email correspondence with readers, but I can be contacted via the Q&A section if you are trying to contact me for a specific reason. Many answers to general questions can be found in the FAQ. Pictures of books, magazines which I have edited, foreign editions and so on can also be found in the Image Hive. You can get additional information about my work in the Wikiverse. Information about forthcoming books, short stories, graphic novels, movies, games or features, as well as book signings and so on can usually be found in the the Q&A section of this site. From time to time, either to support various charities or to support this site, we run auctions, usually of scarcer books and other material by me.

 John Picacio introduced the award, saying "We're here to celebrate Mike's recognition amongst the Grandmasters of the Science Fiction Writers of America... Many great writers are measured by what came before them, but Mike's greatness continues to be measured by what has come after him. I'm not talking about his legendary Multiverse of characters and stories, but a multiverse of writers, artists, and creators worldwide that have either had their careers single-handedly launched by Mike, or been directly influenced by him at a primal level."

 Although Moorcock announced the 2005 Elric novel The White Wolf's Son would be his "final" fantasy novel, he continues to produce stories set in Elric's world of the Young Kingdom in a form reminiscent of the original Elric stories that appeared in Science Fantasy magazine in the early '60s. 'The Roaming Forest', featuring Rakhir the Red Archer, was published in Cross Plains Universe (Monkeybrain, 2006) and 'A Portrait in Ivory', featuring Elric, appeared in Logorrhea (Bantam, 2007). Weird Tales #349 also features their 85 Weirdest Storytellers list, which includes Michael Moorcock.

 Jerry Cornelius first appeared in New Worlds in 1965 as a variation on Moorcock's earlier character, Elric, but went on to feature in numerous short stories and five novels in his own right. In 1977 the final novel in the Jerry Cornelius Quartet - The Condition of Muzak - won the Guardian Fiction Award. Described as "more a technique than a character", in the '70s Jerry Cornelius explored various social issues, including the Vietnam War. In recent years, Moorcock has returned to using Cornelius to examine a post-Diana, post-9/11 world in stories su

Liverpool John Moores University, UK
Deadline for proposals: 31 March 2008 A two day conference hosted by The Association for Research into Popular Fictions in association with the University of East Anglia and the University of Hull on Saturday 5th July – Sunday 6th July 2008. This conference hopes to explore the rich and varied writings of Michael Moorcock's fictions whilst providing a rounded picture of the writerly environments Moorcock has developed in by contextualising his work alongside his many other social involvements and his interactions with other writers. As such this conference is focused upon developing a critical appreciation of Moorcock's best known and most loved writings in combination with an appreciation of his historical development as a writer. To this end we welcome papers which tread across the boundaries of genre which Moorcock himself trod and also welcome papers which relate Moorcock to the circles of friends and associates whose writings and work connect to his own. We hope that this will provide a lively and multiplicitous series of discursive responses to Moorcock’s remarkable body of works.
