Is SFF more mainstream than people give it credit for?

So at this year's London Book Fair I was invited to moderate a panel to discuss this very question. Joining me were David Bradley, the editor and chief of SFX and Total Film magazines and Rosie Fletcher, the editor of Total Film. It was a lively discussion and the audience seemed to enjoy it but it did get me thinking. What is this 'mainstream'? Is it an invite-only club? What do you have to do to get this collective's attention? And is this 'mainstream' welcoming to genre or do they shun it?

The beginning of a journey. After fifteen years working within publishing - most recently as the editorial director of Tor UK publishing authors such as China Mieville, Peter F. Hamilton and a whole host of fabulous genre authors - I start up on my own.
