I have emailed a more detailed announcement of this to authors and others affected by the news, but I thought I had better post it here myself before it hits the blogosphere from some other source.


Due to current financial uncertainties, I have made the decision to place Wheatland Press on hiatus for 2009.

What this means is that I will publish no new books during 2009 (including Polyphony 7). I will continue to fill orders on existing titles and will keep those titles available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com.

The exception to that is if authors of existing titles wish to reclaim their rights and ask me to pull their titles from inventory. I am willing to do that.

In the mean time, I will explore ways to put Wheatland Press on a firmer financial footing including, but not limited to, seeking external funding via arts councils, seeking partnerships with other presses, etc. I hope the break will allow me to return to a regular publishing schedule in 2010.

I do plan to be at Wiscon and Armadillocon (and possibly WFC) with copies from the current Wheatland Press catalogue in the dealer rooms.

Thank you for your support.
