On January 5, 2009, Mercury Retrograde Press will begin reading submissions for its new Hermes imprint.

Mercury Retrograde Press publishes fantasy, science fiction, and interstitial works, in Trade Paper and eBook formats.

We are a small press dedicated to unconventional authors and works that might undeservedly slip through the cracks at bigger houses, and to developing stories and artists that matter to us--one at a time. Fantasy with a psychological edge and character driven science fiction are specialties of the house.

The Hermes imprint publishes series and collections of SFF novellas and light novels in eBook and Omnibus Trade editions. Raven Wakes the World by John Adcox, recently released in MobiPocket and Kindle formats, marks Hermes's first publication. Twelve more titles are planned for 2009.
