I was very happy today to see two of my favorite
publishers joining forces. Chizine Publications, the publisher of dark fiction
and fantasy with one of the most remarkable presences on the speculative
fiction market of the past several years, and Undertow Publications, responsible
for one of the best genre magazines of late, “Shadows & Tall Trees”,
entered into a partnership that, based on my experience with the works of these
two small presses, I am certain would bring us even more wonderful things in
the future.
ChiZine Publications Welcomes New Imprint
Undertow Publications and ChiZine enter co-operative
agreement
TORONTO, Canada (December 16, 2013)
ChiZine Publications (CZP) and Undertow Publications
(UP) are pleased to announce a co-operative venture. UP is now an imprint of
CZP, an internationally acclaimed press.
Undertow Publications is best known for publishing Shadows & Tall Trees, a
semi-annual journal of dark fiction that has been twice nominated for the
British Fantasy Society Award for Best Periodical. UP was founded in 2009 by
Michael Kelly, a Toronto-based author and editor. By becoming an imprint of
ChiZine Publications, UP’s titles—including Shadows
& Tall Tree and the
upcoming Year’s Best Weird
Fiction—will be available through CZP’s distribution channels: Harper
Collins in Canada and Diamond Book Distributors internationally. As well,
Undertow’s titles will be featured in the CZP catalogue.
Under the terms of the agreement, Kelly will remain as
publisher of Undertow Publications and retain editorial authority over its
contents.
“We’re extremely pleased to welcome Undertow
Publications into the ChiZine family,” says Sandra Kasturi, co-publisher of
ChiZine Publications. “Undertow is a small but distinguished press, publishing
exciting material.”
“ChiZine and Undertow share similar sensibilities,”
adds Brett Savory, co-publisher of ChiZine Publications. “We’re both publishing
weird and dark writing.”
Michael Kelly, publisher of Undertow Publications
says, “I’m thrilled to be part of ChiZine. Brett and Sandra, like me, are
aficionados of the strange and the surreal. I couldn’t think of a better fit
for Undertow.”
