Fictionwise began by focusing on selling eBooks based on reprints of award-winning and high quality short stories, mainly in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres. The website recently branched out into novel-length eBooks and other genres such as mystery and contemporary literature. Fictionwise has also recently released several original stories by popular science fiction author Kage Baker. The company plans to continue broadening the scope of its offerings. We were pleasantly surprised by the rapid growth of the company.
Sales are several hundred percent ahead of our original projections.
Spinning Fictionwise off as a separate company is a necessary step to ensure it can continue to grow quickly . Both Stephen Pendergrast and Scott Pendergrast will remain the principal owners and managers of the new company. The company is privately funded as a joint venture between Mindwise Media, LLC and Stephen Pendergrast.
