ABOUT FACTOR FICTION PRESS:
Factor Fiction is Jay Eales and Selina Lock. Their first project under the Factor Fiction imprint was the highly acclaimed unofficial Doctor Who fanthology Walking In Eternity, published in 2001 in order to raise funds for the Foundation for the Study of Infant Death (FSID), it was a perfect bound book with 366 pages, 44 stories and 40 illustrations; a heady mix of professionals from film, television, novels and comics, alongside the very best unpublished talents, many of whom have since gone on to great success. At the Comic Festival in Bristol in 2002, they launched the critically acclaimed ongoing anthology title The Girly Comic, edited by Selina Lock, followed by Violent! edited by Mike Sivier, incorporated under the FactorFiction Press banner in 2004.
