Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kosala" data-source="post: 3733545" data-attributes="member: 14303">Hi all!I wanted to let all of you know about an important decision thepartners at Silven have taken.As of December 2007 we will no longer be in business. SilvenPublishing has had something of a tough year this year, and althoughthings are now coming around to normal, the partners have decided thata considerable personal investment will be needed to keep the companyprofitable. We have decided therefore to shut down operations insteadbecause we no longer believe that we can do the products we publishthe necessary justice in marketing and publishing investment.Only one more book that is currently ready will be published inseptember and then we will stop entirely, winding down successivelytill December.For our partners this means:That our current agreements on co-publishing, etc will come to an end.Any current projects under development revert entirely to the partnersownership as far as intellenctual property rights are concerned.For our freelancers:All current contributions for BOTH published AND un-published workwill be paid in full by December 2007. No one will be left hanging.For our writers:This will be a large blow to you all that have spent a long time fromboth of our ends regarding editing of works in progress. But both Iand my partners believe that we will not do your works justice bycontinuing them under this label. As such, I suggest the following:a) When you find another publisher, have them contact us forinformation on current editing status of your works so unnecessaryexpenditure can be spared on re-editingb) If you need references or recommendations to any publishers don'thesitate to ask me.In general, its been quite a ride the last 4 years and we would liketo thank everyone for their teamwork, co-corporation and support sincewe got going on this.</blockquote>
