Stars and Sabers Publishing nabs Ren Hutchings' 'transcendent' novella

Stars and Sabers Publishing has nabbed The Legend Liminal, a "magnetic" speculative novella from Ren Hutchings. 

Publishers Jendia Gammon and Gareth L Powell acquired world English rights from Ernie Chiara at Fuse Literary. Publication is slated for late September 2025.

The Legend Liminal is a "soft" science fiction story, described by the publisher as "deeply moving, transcendent and filled with the unsettling questioning of reality".

Hutchings commented: "The Legend Liminal is a weird-roadtrip story about falling out of time and reality. It’s also about grief and hope and releasing the past, and the search for new beginnings when all seems lost. I was excited by how profoundly Jendia and Gareth connected with this book, and now I am delighted to be launching it into the universe with Stars and Sabers."

Gammon added: “We have long admired Ren’s affecting, imaginative prose and advocacy for the writing community.”
