I am a member of Nittany Valley Writers' Network, and I write the monthly newsletter. Our group frequently receives info and releases on new upstarts--agents, but mostly publishers. Some quickly reveal themselves as organizations or companies we would not wish to encourage our members to contact.
I have just received a notice on a new publisher and I can't get any info on them (no doubt, because they are very very new.) I'm hoping some of the AW posters have feedback here. In its entirety, here is the email I received:
