Mr. Mathias,



As, you have posted this in the public forum I will respond in the public forum.



First of all, Small Press is defined by Wikipedia (related to US publishers) as a publishing house that makes under $50 million dollars a year and publishes fewer than 10 titles a year. Unless you are making and publishing more than that, in the US, you are considered a Small Press publisher. There is nothing wrong with being a small press publisher. If you look purely at the numbers a company could make $40 million dollars a year and publish 9 books a year and still be considered small press. That does not make them less successful or the work they publish less important. But it still means they are small press.



There are lots of people who have their work published in small press houses and there are a lot of people who self-publish their work. We at Fantasy-Faction feel there is a place for every type of fantasy on our shelves and on our site, which is why we have the Small Press & Self-Published section in the forms and regularly review titles from both types on the main site.



I am very happy that your work is so successful and appreciate that you enjoy posting about it on our site. But your work is small pressed published and therefore belongs in the small press section. pornokitsch, who posted above is also a small press publisher. He posts about his anthologies here all the time, and does so in the appropriate section of the forums. If you would like to continue posting about your work here, please feel free to do so, but do it in the appropriate places.



Secondly, in this forum we are treat people with respect at all times. I do not allow people to disrespect our forum members or mods. It’s rude and uncalled for.



Third, if you have a problem with the way the site is run, you can private message any of the staff and they will discuss the problem with you. Posting your complaints in the public forum is not professional. You can’t just put ‘Only Mods Read This’ in the title then expect no one else to respond. That’s not how the forum works.



Further comments can be private messaged to me, or one of the other mods. Thank you.
