Production Update Questions

[Brian James Freeman]

Any updates on if any of the titles from The First Forthcoming GB 2014 will be out the door this month?

Two of them are ready for the printer and will be sent as soon as we're ready to announce them. One is waiting on one last contributor's essay before design can begin. And one is deep in production and will be ready for the printer by spring.

Thanks Brian, just trying to kind of plan ahead of what to be expecting and when.

This is not a production question but a shipping question. Any idea when your copies of The Books of Blood will ship?

Any updates on if any of the titles from the last Forthcoming grab bag of the this year? Really curious what book it is that's already announced/published. Curious about the other publisher's book as well, of course.

One title will still ship this year, the others are all 2015 at this point, but they're done and in the queue. We just have to finally fire our printer of 20+ years and move all of our business to our other printer. Unfortunately, it seems to have come to that. We sent a book to our printer back in August that they're just finishing now. Quality is still good, but they're a mess as a company for some reason. Plus: we received paperwork from a bank saying that all payments should go to the bank now. Not a good sign...

That's a shame that such a long-standing business relationship has gone bad :-(

What's up with the magazine? Is there going to be a new issue soon?

#72 is rolling at the printer and will probably begin shipping the first week of January, depending on how many days the plant is closed for the holidays!

Any updates of a general nature on what's at the printer and what should be shipping soon? The Production Updates page is a bit out of date .

Yeah, I've been sick for the last two weeks and have barely kept up on email let alone updating the site! I know The Mailman is rolling at the printer, Salome is making good progress there, Fangoria has shipped to our warehouse and we'll be shipping preorders this month, but those are all I recall off the top of my head. I'll get the page updated on Monday!
