Creators' Corner

Welcome to the Creator's Corner, the hub for creators to stay connected to events at Phase 5 Publishing, find resources and links inside and outside our website.

Current News:

We are currently updating the website to a new look and navigational structure. The pages with the blue background have been updated. If you have suggestions, please let us know.

We are moving our "publication" date to the 15th of each month so we can offer our subscribers advance access distribution on the 10th. Our goal is to get the "preview" copies out to the authors and artists for review by the 5th.

Phase 5 attended to StellarCon in March. Held in High Point, North Carolina, StellarCon 35 was a great local convention, with a very respectable guest list and a long history behind it. We were excited to be dealing your work amongst some legendary names in science fiction, fantasy and horror publishing. Check out their website if you are interested in attending next year, www.stellarcon.org.

Phase 5's forum, "The Salon," is now open for conversation. Register, log in and jump in.

Phase 5 will be dealing at ConCarolinas in Charlotte June 3-5. Please join us! www.concarolinas.org.

Print versions of the Monthly Review are on hold until we can find a printer who can do the small runs we require without charging us more than our issue price. If no suitable printer can be found, we may have to cancel the print edition of the Monthly Review, but that will not affect the books or the Presents issues.
