Samhain Publishing, a primarily digital US romance publisher that has put in regular appearances in WM with its calls for submissions, is to close down operations because of a steady decline in ebook sales.
Samhain publisher Christina Brashear sent an email to authors on 26 February to tell them that Samhain would begin to shut down its publishing operation.
She wrote: ‘It’s with the heaviest of hearts and a great sadness I bring you the news of Samhain beginning the process of winding down due to our market share’s continuing decline. We’re approaching the point where we cannot sustain our business.’
