In Sadness Comes Future Joy

I saw this by email before it went public. Now that it is, I will talk about it.

Superversive Press was a small publisher, one with a mission to bring the Superversive--to build up, not tear down, the culture and all that is good, beautiful, and true--and it is unfortunate that it is now closing due to circumstances beyond Mr. Rennie's control. What else came out of this press's operations--the Superversive Podcast and the group blog--will remain operative for now. Joshua Young, writing at said blog, said it as well as needs be:

It is with great sadness that I bring you the announcement that the owner of Superversive Press has made the decision to shutter the press. His reasons are his own and personal, and I understand that running even a small company is a large amount of work. I would like to thank you, Jason, for all your hard work. It was a good run, and you brought a lot of us together.

Now, with that having been said, Superversive is a movement, not a company, and as authors, we will still be there, pressing forward with our goal of fiction that ennobles and inspires. If you were working with Superversive Press, check with your editors; most are looking at other presses we have worked with. (As we did with the Planetary Anthology.)

Given that the Press does not represent the totality of the movement, it is our intention to keep the website up and running regardless. We are discussing plans to keep the site going as we move forward and are hopeful that, beyond seeing familiar authors in new homes, you will see little change on our end.

The future is still bright, my friends.

It is. The company is gone, but the ideal remains, and the tools to make that real are now easily had. The future belongs to us.
