June 2012 Newsletter 'Word from the Editor'
We are happy to
announce the creation of a new line of products for IFWG Publishing. We
all know about 'chapbooks', that oddity in publishing that started off
as a newsletter a few centuries ago - small books (normally 40 pages or
less) that contained a story, or newsletter, or the like. Some authors
publish similarly sized beasts as ebooks, and we thought it was a great idea to marry the two concepts together, hence creating the 'chap-ebook'!
We aren't doing this in a big way; we are expressly publishing
chap-ebooks only written by our current authors - those who we published
novels, anthologies and non-fiction. No one else. The reasoning behind
this is to provide readers with extra material from their favorite
authors, and sometimes also supplement larger stories with smaller work.
We are delighted to do this, and in the spirit of chapbooks, we will
turn them over rather quickly, and not necessarily spend a great deal of
time polishing the covers. We will be numbering our 'chap-ebook' series
in the order they are published.
Gift Horse is the first cab
off the rank, and has the honor of being number #001. It is a wonderful
science-fiction piece written by our Managing Director, and author of
the KnorraSky series of novels, R.A. Knowlton. Over coming weeks we will
be adding three more chap-ebooks to our collection - just stay tuned.
