Gollancz is delighted to welcome a guest blogger to the site. Lizzie Barrett, known to many as @alittlebriton and as a mover and shaker within the BFS and Fantasycon communities, has been kind enough to let us repost her words about panels, and the importance of making sure voices from every walk, genre and gender of life are heard. This opinion piece came together with a little help from her friends (as all the best things do) namely Anne C. Perry, known to the SFF world as @thefingersofgod and as the quite marvellous @pornokitsch. It’s also featuring on our blog with the blessing of the lovely people at SFX, who you can find at www.SFX.com, or @SFXmagazine.

This message is good, so spread the word and boost the signal!

I have been reading with interest discussions of Paul Cornell's plan to encourage gender balance on panels. Nice to have a little more context with it.

Such a plan seems related to your project to gather data on anthology contents, if more controversial.
