Meisha Merlin Publishing
Meisha Merlin Publishing was an independent publishing company founded in 1996 by former New York book editor Stephen Pagel and Kevin and Brian Murphy. The Decatur, Georgia-based company specialized in publishing fantasy and science fiction trade hardcover and trade paperback books.
During their nine years of operation, Meisha Merlin built a large stable of fantasy and science fiction authors that included Kevin J. Anderson, Janny Wurts, Jack McDevitt, Robert Lynn Asprin, Robin Wayne Bailey, Storm Constantine, S.P. Somtow, Karen Lee Killough, Phyllis Eisenstein, Allen Steele, Andre Norton, George R. R. Martin, Robert A. Heinlein, and many others. Their books were sold via Amazon.com and through the large network of national chain bookstore and independent booksellers throughout the USA.
In April 2007 Meisha Merlin announced on their website that they would cease operations the following month; major book distribution issues were sited as the reason for the company's closing. [1]
