Last week there was a big announcement from Samhain that it would be partnering with Kensington to bring a new Samhain imprint to the Kensington line. Ellora’s Cave also provided information about its increased output with Simon & Schuster for the year 2008, including a roll out of single titles to accompany the already popular anthologies.
Many authors were tremendously excited. Fellow blogger and writer, Dionne Galace, sent an all cap SQUEE through the email once the news was announced. However, a thoughtful question was raised by author Jordan Summers as to whether ebook authors can be hurt by NY publication of their books. Summers has an exciting (to me although I’ve not yet read it, but the concept sounds very interesting) series debuting from Tor in Fall 2008. Summers posited that print release of her early titles might not be such a great thing because there were books from her early days that she’d rather not see in mass distribution unless she had an opportunity to rewrite them.
Summers is not the only author to feel this way.
