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.

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!

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.

 

Founded in January 2012 by Jane Ormerod, Thomas Fucaloro, and Brant Lyon, great weather for MEDIA focused on unpredictable, fearless, bright, dark, and innovative writing through yearly anthologies and single author collections.
