The Bardsong Press Celtic Books imprint 
is not currently accepting any manuscripts for review at this time.


To Contributors of Bardsong, the Journal for Celebrating the Celtic Spirit: 

It is with great regret that we must announce the suspension of operations of the publication, Bardsong, the Journal for Celebrating the Celtic Spirit with the Midwinter 2005 issue. 

This was a very difficult decision to make as the journal had been a long-time dream come true both for myself and for Kathleen, my assistant editor. However, after two years, Kathleen has made the understandable decision to leave her position as assistant editor due to overwhelming obligations. Along with having to assist in the daily operations of a family business, she is sole caretaker for a very elderly parent, and to be able to continue to pursue her writing career as well, she has to give up her editorship. To operate the publication alone is not within my capabilities at this time, therefore, the decision was made to suspend. We will reassess the situation in a year’s time and consider if we will start up again or permanently cease operations. 

The publishing company of Bardsong Press will continue; it is only the journal that will be halted at this time. All issues of the journal will continue to be available for purchase through the website (bardsongpress.com) and other products sold by Bardsong Press will be available either through the website or on amazon.com. 

If you have an active subscription, we will refund the unused portion of it by the end of the month.

 Please know that we greatly appreciate your support during our two short years of operation and we are heartbroken that we can no longer make it work at this time. 

Best regards,
Ann Gilpin
, Editor in chief
