Drawing a line under the anthology this weekend and then on to the work of getting people to buy it!
Assuming it's a success what would you like to see next?

I have bought it already but am unsure how many copies are available and so am also unsure how to publicise it. As for future projects then I don't know other than maybe making it an annual publication i.e Dark Minds 2 etc... Having Gary M on board is a big deal and will help (obviously) towards sales so maybe every publication could feature a 'name'. Either way you have done a great job with the anthology and I hope it sells out big time. It would be ace if I could get my copy signed by all but the air fares alone would clean me out lol. I might have to settle for just Ross' autograph :-)

I think the world's our oyster!!
Let's see how this one goes but (as I've mentioned in emails to Ross) I'd really like to see Dark Minds become established as a succesful small press. My plan to go part time will be coming to fruition soon so I'll have time to dedicate to both writing and working on developing Dark Minds. My fiancee is a consultant for co-operatives and has many contacts who would be able to help a fledgling company get going. I'm up for it and - as Ross has done all the work on the anthology - I would want him involved too, in whatever capacity is practicable.
We have another 9 ISBN numbers to use. I'd love the writers here to benefit from these but - if we are going to establish ourselves - we should open up to submissions. Not just short stories - novellas and even novels.
Of course we may just sell 10 copies of anthology#1 in which case this is all a pipe dream but hey, you've gotta have dreams.

^well we've got the 10 covered with pre-orders so we're off!
how about chapbooks? a lot of small presses seem to be finding that the way to go at the moment it seems.

Chap books wouldn't require ISBN so that is something to consider
