Introducing PS Showcase, our new line of short fiction mini-collections
Posted by Peter Crowther on September 13th, 2007 at 13:28
This month, September 2007, sees a brand new PS Publishing initiative hit the racks: PS Showcase.
The idea is to put out a series of mini story-collections – priced as per our novellas at £10 / $20 (approx.) for the hardcover and £25 / $50 (approx.) for the signed, jacketed hardcover – from writers whom we believe are deserving of more attention.
The first PS Showcase collection we’re putting out is by Gary Fry and we’re aiming to have his Sanity and Other Delusions available for a launch at the upcoming FantasyCon (September 21st – 23rd, Nottingham, UK). Here’s the wrap-around version of J.K. Potter‘s fantastically eerie cover art in all its glory:
I’m particularly excited about this new venture because it ties in with one of my greatest loves: comic books. In 1956, DC Comics’ Julius Schwartz started a new title called Showcase, and in that comic book he launched re-workings of characters such as The Flash and Green Lantern onto a world that had grown just a little bored with super heroes.
It was a huge success and those characters – plus many others launched in the title – went on to become mainstays of the comic book industry. We’re hoping that, in our own small way, we may be able to do the same sort of thing with PS Showcase.
Showcase #2 is scheduled for early in 2008, with #3 and #4 due later in the year. Keep checking the website for more details.

Dear PS SHOWCASE Editor;
I have two questions. is PS SHOWCASE open to poetry?
My second quetion do you do reviews. If so then can my publisher, http://www.abbottepub.com, email a review copy of my pdf ebook sf/f/h collection, PRIVATE WORLDS A REVISED ATLAS.
They are poems which are comments on the body of work by sf/f/h writers and other creators in the thre genrs.
Sincrely,
Scott E. reen

Hi Scott;
Your questions answered in order:
1) No. All PS publications are by commission, not open submission.
2) No.
Sorry we couldn’t be more positive – good luck with your material. :)
