The Grantville Gazettes (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The Grantville Gazettes are anthologies of short stories set in the 1632 universe introduced in Eric Flint's novel 1632 that was primarily published as a bi-monthly electronic magazine from 2003 until shortly after Flint's death in 2022. The Gazettes started as an experiment: a professionally edited, officially sanctioned "fan magazine" published electronically. Initially released as serialized e-magazines, they were later published as e-books (taking a page from the Baen Books experience with E-ARCs—Electronic Advance Reader Copies, which had been instituted several years earlier.) Because the electronic sales were successful, Baen contracted with Flint for more issues, to be published 3-4 times per year (bimonthly, starting in 2007). Each would form part of the canonical background for the other works (novels and anthologies) in the rapidly growing 1632 series. By mid-2012, e-magazines were published bimonthly, and six books had been published (five of those as both hardcover and mass market paperback) excerpted from the first 17 issues of the magazine. Grantville Gazette IX was published in July 2021. After two decades of operations, the magazine celebrated the electronic release of its 100th volume in March 2022. On August 16, 2022, Lucille Robbins, the widow of Eric Flint, officially announced the immediate shutdown of both The Grantville Gazette and the Ring of Fire Press. Without a huge infusion of new cash, it was determined that both business ventures would not be economically viable without Flint's participation. The final electronic issue, Volume 102, was released in July 2022, while the final hardcopy book version, Grantville Gazette IX (ISBN 978-1982125455), was released in July 2021. (en)
