infinite press
Back in 2010 I started infinity plus books with five of my own short story collections – partly as a learning exercise and partly because I genuinely had no idea whether this new-fangled ebook thing would ever catch on. It made sense to experiment with my own material before roping in any other authors.
Things have moved on. Now it's the norm for authors to take a mixed portfolio approach to publishing. We still like to publish our big commercial books with the mainstream presses – nobody can rival their expertise or distribution; but also indie publishing and self-publishing have become legitimate parts of a writer's approach, and I pursue this on several fronts. Publishing has also become increasingly collaborative, as writers share their skills around, and I work closely with several other authors, helping them get their non-mainstream work to audiences.
So that I don't swamp infinity plus with too much work from a single author, I adopted the label infinite press for these collaborative projects with other authors, and some more of my own work. Most of these infinite press titles have previously been published in competitive commercial markets, but there are also quirky, more individual titles that might be too risky for the mass market. And some other stuff, too.
And so, here we are...
