Creative Guy Publishing
CGP has now been publishing alternative forms of literature since February of 2003. We welcome you to browse around and see what we're all about. There is a bit of restructuring going on right now, given what we've learned about the small press industry and what readers are looking for, but our goal is still to provide alternative ideas for what defines the word 'book.' In a nutshell, we are still primarily a publisher of the novella form, in ebook, chapbook, and audiobook formats. We have begun publishing books in trade paperback format as well, featuring our annual anthology of humorous speculative ficiton, the Amityville House of Pancakes.

Endeavor Press
Endeavor Press began publishing a line of Limited Edition novelettes in 2003, releasing Tom Piccirilli's Fuckin' Lie Down Already, to rave reviews. Fuckin' Lie Down Already was nominated for the 2003 Bram Stoker Award. This was followed in 2004 by Brian Lumley's The House of the Temple, a reprinted novelette that had been previously out of print for many years. Our next publication was something new: our first paperback, saddle-stitched Limited Edition chapbook, We Now Pause for Station Identification by Gary Braunbeck, which also garnered rave reviews. As our success allows, we will increase the number of titles produced each year. In years to come Endeavor Press will continue to publish our popular Limited Edition novelette series, while striving to expand our line to include anthologies, single-author collections, full-length novels, audio books and more! Our Novelette series, which is our primary focus, is produced in extremely limited numbers, usually only 200-300 copies of a signed, numbered Limited Edition, and 26-52 copies of a signed, Traycased, Lettered Edition. Endeavor Press will focus primarily on our line of hardcover Limited Editions; however, we will also be producing an affordable trade paperback edition of most of our titles, six months to a year after the release of the Limited Edition. We love the novelette form, and feel it is particularly effective for horror fiction, allowing the author more freedom to tell a story in greater depth that a short story allows, while still being short enough to read in a single sitting, without having to set it aside and come out of the story. Started in Annapolis , Maryland and now located in Chicago , Illinois , Endeavor Press is owned and operated by Roger Range . Roger has been a fan of genre fiction since he began reading, and has written fiction himself for over two decades. Roger has worked as both a bookseller and a manager for two national bookstore chains for over five years. The knowledge he has gained from both selling books and marketing his own fiction grants a unique insight into the publishing industry. He enjoys working with authors, artists, and independent booksellers, and finds the greatest joy in life to be bringing new fiction to the world.

Twilight Tales
Founded in 1993 by award-winning novelist Tina Jens as a weekly fiction reading series, Twilight Tales has brought hundreds of authors from Chicago and around the world to perform their stories live before an audience. More than a decade later, weekly shows are still held every Monday night upstairs at the Red Lion Restaurant & Pub 2446 N. Lincoln Ave. across the street from the Biograph Theater. Early in its life, Twilight Tales branched out and began collecting the fiction of many of its readers in a series of “sherbet” colored chapbooks. In recent years, the publishing arm of Twilight Tales has moved into producing professional trade paperback anthologies and single author collections. Twilight Tales readers and anthology contributors have included visiting best-selling authors like Max Allan Collins, Barbara D’Amato, Brian Lumley, Yvonne Navarro, Karen Taylor, Melanie Tem and Gahan Wilson , as well as nationally known local novelists like Robert Weinberg, Gene Wolfe, Algis Budrys, Jay Bonansinga , and many more. The books are available at all Twilight Tales shows, as well as at a variety of bookstores, book and art fairs and genre fiction fandom conventions throughout the year. Over the past several years, Twilight Tales has also featured local, domestic and international authors’ fiction as a part of its web site. Twilight Tales is a volunteer-run venture, and many Chicago area authors and fiction-lovers have contributed to its success over the years.

Gauntlet Press
These are books mainly for collectors with a print run of around 500 copies (so, no you won't find them at Barnes & Noble). The authors we publish fall into the horror/dark suspense/dark fantasy arena. You'll find the likes of Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Poppy Z. Brite, F. Paul Wilson, Caitlin R. Kiernan and many others. All books are signed by the author and printed on acid-free paper with special binding--collectibles, in short. EDGE Books is Gauntlet's mass market trade paperback and mass market hardcover arm of Gauntlet. These are books that deserve to be read by a larger audience at an affordable price: books that mass market publishers feel are too risky. You'll find short story collections (Poppy Z. Brite), cutting-edge books too strong for the mass market (Jack Ketchum) and even a mass market hardcover Young Adult novel by Richard Matheson we published to introduce an entire new audience to this revered author. These are NOT print on demand. Our initial print runs start at 5000+ copies and our aim is to get the book into every chain and independent store in the country. The third tentacle of Gauntlet is Gauntlet Magazine, which is devoted to discussing censorship and the limits of free expression. As we publish censored material some issues contain graphic material (sex gets censored; we refuse to comment on censored art unless we can run the art. We do, and it can be disturbing. Consider yourself warned).

He soon moved to take Judy Lynn Del Rey's place at Galaxy magazine, and became editor of Galaxy and If in 1974 after brief trip back to Ace to be assistant Gothics editor. While at Galaxy he published such authors as Jerry Pournelle, Charles Sheffield, Joanna Russ and John Varley, and was nominated for several Hugo Awards. He returned to Ace to head their science fiction line, working with publisher Tom Doherty. When Doherty left to start Tor, Baen shortly followed and started the SF line there. In 1983 he had the opportunity to start his own independent company, Baen Books, distributed then and now by Pocket Books/Simon & Schuster. Baen Books has become a market leader, publishing books at the heart of SF, by authors such as David Drake, Lois McMaster Bujold, Elizabeth Moon, David Weber, James Hogan, Mercedes Lackey, Larry Niven and many more. Jim Baen was very active on the baen.com website, "Baen's Bar," where his interests in evolutionary biology, space technology, politics, military history, and bad puns are discussed along with science fiction. He passed away June 12, 2006 after a stroke.

Every year since, our books have appeared in various Year's Best lists and appeared on many award ballots, culminating recently in a 2005 HWA Specialty Press award which cited the press' overall attention to excellence. Among the authors we have worked with are Tim Lebbon (The Assassin series, Berserk), Kealan Patrick Burke (The Turtle Boy), Gary Braunbeck (In the Midnight Museum), Brian Keene (Take the Long Way Home), Simon Clark (She Loves Monsters), and Michael McBride (Zero), almost all of which have sold out pre-publication. Here at NEP we pride ourselves on selecting books based on the strength of story.

DMMG (DisAssociation Music & Media Group).
DMMG (DisAssociation Music & Media Group), was founded in 1998, from the remanants at the time of the previous Cyrkel Spynn Fanzine and Dark & Wise Recordings (tape distro label).

Small Beer Press
In 2002 we published two books by Carol Emshwiller (a novel, The Mount, and Report to the Men's Club and Other Stories), a favorite author with six previous books to her name. Last year our first two books (Kelly Link's Stranger Things Happen and Ray Vukcevich's Meet Me in the Moon Room) were well received. We are committed to publishing short story collections and novels by authors we feel are slipping through the cracks. In 1996, long before I ever thought I'd publish any books, I started a small press zine, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet (LCRW). Whenever I flipped through the magazines at Avenue Victor Hugo Bookshop in Boston, MA, where I worked, I was frustrated that none seemed to have just the right mix (fiction, a spot of poetry, a flash of humor, maybe some art) that I thought would make the perfect magazine. Eleven issues and many long nights at the computer later, LCRW goes from strength to strength. In 2000, we took our first real step toward publishing books when we published two chapbooks, 4 Stories by Kelly Link and Five Forbidden Things by Dora Knez. The chapbooks -- deliberately designed as low-priced editions to introduce new writers and give them a step up between publishing stories and books -- gave us confidence in our design and production capabilities. At about the same time we set up a half-decent website (oddly enough, we still have a half-decent website, www.lcrw.net, but it's larger now) and, with the advent of Paypal, our zine and the chapbooks were suddenly available to anyone...who had the urge to look us up. LCRW and the chapbooks complement our books: they give readers a way to sample our authors without popping for the more expensive books -- the zine is only $4, chapbooks $5, and the books $16 -- and the zine and chapbook reach very different audiences than our books. Our books are carried by Ingram and Baker & Taylor -- our biggest LCRW distributor is Last Gasp.
