LOSING TOUCH publisher talks THE GHOST IS THE MACHINE
Post Mortem Press chief Eric Beebe spoke with Nancy Greene of FEARnet about the publishing business, working with Clive Barker, Harlan Ellison, F. Paul Wilson, and PMP anthologies such as THE GHOST IS THE MACHINE, which features my story, “The Talent’s in the Bones.”
…our original anthologies we paid royalties only. And I was upfront with that. It’s all about communicating. Being as transparent as I can be. With our latest anthologies, we pay pro-rates to pro writers and semi-pro to others not with bigger publishers. In some cases we pay royalties. Our books THE GHOST IS THE MACHINE and TORN REALITIES – Joe Hill is GHOST and TORN REALITIES is Clive Barker. And with those authors I paid pro-rates and to the others in the anthologies I paid royalties. Most of the authors in GHOST ended up making more money than Joe Hill did. Which to me is amazing! And that book continues to sell well.
THE GHOST IS THE MACHINE, including my story, “The Talent’s in the Bones,” available now from Post Mortem Press at Amazon.com.
