We have some difficult news to share.
From April 2025 we will begin the closing of great weather for MEDIA. Since January 2012 the goal of this press has been to create community, curate unpredictable and fearless anthologies, and to bring into the world bright, innovative single-author collections.
We have toured across the United States and Britain and enthusiastically taken part in numerous book festivals, discussion panels, and workshops. We made lasting connections with other communities while maintaining an open mic for ten years in New York City. Through the pandemic, your voices and passion were vital in our 10-minute Zoom events.
As with many of our fellow publishers, book sales have dropped dramatically since 2021. In the current political and social climate, we recognize the heightened importance of the arts and so this is not a decision we have taken lightly.
To our writers, readers, audience members, and to everyone who has supported us for the last thirteen years, we thank you. We are immensely proud of the work we have done, but it is time to focus our energies elsewhere.
We are still attending the AWP Book Conference in Los Angeles in late March and look forward to seeing as many of you as possible. The reading series in Hudson, NY continues and is unaffected.
Our online store will remain open for a few more weeks while books are available. There is limited stock. If there is a title you always wanted, grab one now at a special price! Shipping is postponed between March 20 and April 1 while we are at the AWP Book Conference. There will be a final inventory check on April 2 so check to see which titles are back in stock.
The great weather team still plans opportunities for special events in the future so stay tuned. Keep writing, creating, and supporting one another. And thank you again.
