The latest issue of Pro Se Presents, the March 2013
#18 issue, will be the last monthly issue of the title. With #19, Pro Se Presents will become a
quarterly magazine, but will also double to triple in size, according to Tommy
Hancock.
Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se
explains the reason for this. “Pro
Se Presents has proven extremely popular and is considered by many to be an
honest to goodness heir to the Pulp Magazines of old. Even with that in mind, though, certain things have to be
taken into consideration.
One of those is time and the rest of Pro Se’s ever growing schedule.”
“Due to a massive commitment to put out an amazing
number of titles this year as well as the amount of time working on a single
issue of the magazine consumes, some decisions had to be made. The result is that the magazine
will now be quarterly, will contain at least twice the amount of stories, and
have some other cosmetic differences that both allow the magazine to continue
and for Pro Se staff as a whole to give more time to all the titles being
prepared.”
The first quarterly issue of Pro Se Presents will
be 19, available in June 2013.
“Other changes,” Hancock stated, “are coming for
the magazine as well. Until now, I
have included the duties of the magazine as one of my Editor-In-Chief
responsibilities. And, as with
everything else Pro Se, my time has become stretched thin enough that it’s
become imperative to pass the duties of managing the magazine over to someone
who’s been training for it for awhile as Chief Editor- Pro Se Presents' new managing editor, Lee Houston, Jr.”
Houston made his New Pulp debut as a contributor to
Pro Se’s first line of magazines and moved up quickly to the ranks of novelist
with his HUGH MONN and PROJECT ALPHA books, as well as various projects for Pro
Se and other companies. Houston
has acted initially as an editor and then Chief Editor for the magazine. "Each
issue we showcase the best short stories available, just like the classic
anthology pulps of yesteryear did." Hancock will maintain company control
of the magazine, but for all practical purposes Lee Houston, Jr. as of Issue 19
will be the Managing Editor for the two time Pulp Ark award winning magazine
from Pro Se Productions!
