Tom Purdom (1936–2023)

One of the occupational hazards of being an historian, particularly of the times half a century passed, is that you meet a lot of the people you are researching. When I was composing a history of the earliest Moon probes, I befriended most of the original scientists and engineers at Space Technology Laboratories. I even…

We’re very excited about this one. You all know Laura Weyr, who won the Rainbow Award in 2021 for The Eighth Key, her high fantasy gay romance par excellence. Well, Laura decided it was time to feature the other side of the coin, and so she has given us a terrific Sapphic love story: Mirror…

This exciting new chapter in Gideon Marcus’ YA space adventure series is the closest the books have gotten to “space opera”, with pirate ships, rebel Imperial Navy vessels, plenty of…

Notice anything different?

There are few things more thrilling for a publisher than the chance to yell “STOP THE PRESSES!” We’ve always known that Marie Vibbert, author of nearly 100 short stories in all the biggest science fiction magazines, was just this side of making it big.

Today, the Gods Awoke

Launch day is always an exciting one. This one is particularly thrilling. I have a confession: I’ve always wanted to publish Marie Vibbert. I’m not exactly sure when I first became aware of her work.

Few types of business offer as many opportunities to mess up as publishing. After all, in addition to the gross issues of production, distribution, sales, and marketing, there’s…

From readers to booksellers to fellow authors and publishers, there are now several hundred folks I’ve had the pleasure of associating with these past two years. One of my very favorites has been…

Rediscovery 2 is HERE!

How does one go about making an anthology? Well… With Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1958-1963), which we informally call Rediscovery 1, it was easy. I’d already been running Galactic Journey for the six years that volume would cover. All I had to do was pick out my favorite stories by women (which were often…

Where to find Journey Press in November/December

It was kind of inevitable. Once the worst of the pandemic was over (we’re vaxxed and boosted — go House Pfizer!) we knew we’d be hitting all the local and regional shows. After all, the funnest part of running a press is meeting all of you cool people! Well, that and writing Pinky jokes. We’ve…
