About Us
Welcome to Rapier Press. We are a brand new publishing company with a focus on lifestyle and humor. Right now, we are undertaking our first anthology, and hope to publish both novels and humorous memoirs in the future.
The CEOs of Rapier Press have over ten years experience in book and magazine publishing, as well as a graphic design. We are aware of the vast ocean of terrible books published by the small press community and are sure you are looking at us with wary eyes as well. We have seen too many books not edited properly, not laid out properly, with terrible covers and a complete lack of marketing. This is not us. You will see.
We will be putting up bios of our core team in a short while. If you have any questions in the meantime please don't hesitate to email us at rapierpress@hotmail.com.
Thanks!
Our Book Specs
Our first anthology will be a 5x8 trade paperback POD book, with professional photography for a cover. It will be laid out in Quark and edited a thousand times over to ensure everything reads correctly.
NEWS AND UPDATES
7/28/09--Well, it's been a while. Some of you want to know about your submissions, others if the book is still coming out. Right now, we're simply not getting the types of stories we want. Mostly we are getting very bitter, angry or dull stories. We're also getting a lot of stories that are about entire relationships instead of single dates. People are not paying attention to the guidelines. So what we're going to do is leave the submission call up indefinitely while we move on to other projects. Once we get enough quality submissions, we will be in touch. Everyrone is free to submit their stories elsewhere in the meantime. We hope someday to get out this book with the type of humorous and shocking stories people want to read.
