Margaret Weis has announced the formation of a new company, Margaret Weis Productions, Ltd., as a game publisher and book packager.  Weis will continue her relationship with Sovereign Press, which publishes Dragonlance roleplaying game products under license from Wizards of the Coast (for example, see 'Sovereign Press To Release 'Towers of High Sorcery''). 

 

Weis is forming the new company to reach out to the book channel.  '...[B]ecause some of these [new projects] cross over from games into the book publishing field,' she said, 'we believe that they will be better served by coming out under a new banner, one that has direct ties into the book trade.

 

Two employees have been named.  Jamie Chambers will be Vice President, in charge of marketing and production.  Renae Chambers will manage sales, art direction, and conventions.
