Meisha Merlin Going Out of Business

By Ian Randal Strock

April 23, 2007

Meisha Merlin Publishing is going out of business, effective next month. Following is the text of the announcement posted today on the company's web site.

Dear Fans,

I am sorry to say that due to major distribution problems Meisha Merlin Publishing, Inc. will be closing their doors in May 2007. Both Kevin and I along with the entire staff here at Meisha Merlin want to thank all our fans, customers, authors, & artists for your support over the past eleven years. We are sorry to have to do this, but events beyond our control have forced us to make this decision.

ATTN: For those of you who have purchased The Virginia Edition. The Robert A. & Virginia Heinlein Prize Trust has worked out an agreement to continue publishing The Virginia Edition. You can expect a letter from them within the very near future & volume seven will be arriving to you in late May or early June.

The unsigned letter, on the main page's scrolling marquee, is apparently by co-founder and co-owner Stephen Pagel. The Kevin referred to in the letter is the other co-founder and co-owner, Kevin Murphy.
