However, while you could order through Amazon, et al., if you’d like to more directly support independent publishing, you can order the paperbacks from us. In doing this, Swan River paperbacks, unlike our hardbacks, will be available across a number of platforms, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, plus others. Third, we’ve decided to go with IngramSpark. So you’ll want to make sure you get our anthologies during their initial hardback issues. While we would like to ideally reissue all of our out-of-print books, too many rights and royalty payments would be involved, and I don’t want to become a full-time accountant. Second, we will very likely not reprint our anthologies or issues of The Green Book. But rest assured, the design quality of our paperbacks is what you’ve come to expect from Swan River. A full print run would also tie up money, something we are not in the position to do. The first being storage-we simply cannot stock more books outside of our hardback selection, which remains our priority. We hope, also, that these paperbacks will help new readers find our books.Īnd so we’ve decided to reissue as paperbacks a selection of our out-of-print back catalogue (or those nearly out of print).īut there were some decisions that we had to make along the way too.įirst, we’ve decided to go the print-on-demand route. Similarly, it is unfair to our authors to allow their works to languish out of print. Sometimes these print runs disappear quickly, leaving some readers paying large sums for second-hand copies. Our long-time readers will know Swan River Press primarily focuses on limited edition hardbacks. But this new publishing stream only has emerged after much consideration and planning. Yes, I know, we’re as shocked as you are. So we’ve decided to publish a line of paperbacks.
