Q: "R U Elastic?" A: "Yes I am!"
In November 2002 I formed Elastic Press, an independent company dedicated to publishing short story collections by new and established authors. At that time, very few publishers concentrated solely on the short form, and even now mainstream publishers are very reluctant to do so. There was a gap in the marketplace, and I filled it.
In September 2005 Elastic Press won the Best Small Press award presented annually by the British Fantasy Society. As this award is voted on by members of the society, rather than a committee, it was especially pleasing to receive such recognition.
Elastic Press publishes four short story collections per year, and usually one anthology. Including myself, to date we have published collections by Andrew Humphrey, Gary Couzens, Marion Arnott, Antony Mann, Kay Green, Brian Howell, Allen Ashley, Steven Savile, Nick Jackson, Tim Lees, Matt Dinniman, Tim Nickels, David Swann, Neil Williamson, Mike O'Driscoll, Maurice Suckling, Mat Coward, Tony Richards, and Robert Neilson.
Our peculiarly themed anthologies include "The Alsiso Project" (BFS winner of Best Anthology 2005), "The Elastic Book of Numbers" (BFS winner of Best Anthology 2006), and "Extended Play: The Elastic Book of Music".
