I hate to have to announce this, but Shake-the-Tree will not be accepting new submissions for the first half of 2013. We need chance to work through everything we have received so far and there simply are not enough hours in the day for us to cope with anymore right now. Sorry to disappoint any prospective authors, but I expect us to reopen for submissions later in the year. Thank you for your patience.

This year is going to be an interesting one for new releases. We are putting out two new books (both in the popular Astronomicon series) within the next few weeks and then there will be a long gap in our release schedule lasting until the autumn when we expect several more releases. From the point of view of our growing following of readers, this will mean a relatively quiet summer, but our new releases in the second half of the year should be well worth the wait.

Our aim is to expand our business and develop a much stronger marketing presence during this year, allowing us to take on more new authors during the second half of 2013. This in turn will allow us to increase our output of new titles and provide a more comprehensive promotion and support system for all our authors. For the next few years, we expect the e-book world to be a very exciting place to be, with lots of new potential and possibilities that we are only just beginning to enjoy.
