Welcome to Swift Publishers

The 2011/ 2012 John West Brain Food Ireland Fantasy Short Story Competition is currently with the judges, including senior judge Frank P Ryan.  The new John West Chosen Book, and the second title in Frank's remarkable epic fantasy series, will be distributed to entrants in Ireland by John West (see www.brainfood.ie).  This book will be published for the first time in the world by Quercus (see below) in April 2012 with a title to be announced very shortly.  More details on the fantasy short story page.

The world rights of Frank P Ryan's fantasy series, including The Snowmelt River and three succeeding novels, are being taken over by Quercus Books, to join Jo Fletcher's new fantasy and science fiction list.  Many congratulations to Frank and thanks to the many friends and colleagues who have made this possible.  We wish Frank the very best of luck with the UK Publisher of the Year for 2011.  Quercus will publish Frank's second fantasy novel, with a re-issued Snowmelt River in April 2012.  In the meantime the Swift edition will be removed from sale.
