Hi Giordana, why did you decide to open a publishing house, with all those already present in Italy? Because after having lived an editorial experience that showed us all the limits of small publishing, we asked ourselves if it really wasn't possible to do better. After a year and a half I can say that yes, on many points our objective has been achieved, but on others there is still a lot to work on. What do you publish and in what formats? We publish fantasy, in all its nuances, and science fiction. We don't rule out opening ourselves up to other types of escape too.
At the moment our books are only available in paperback, but we will soon launch an eBook series (ePlesio), which will host both original titles and part of our current catalogue. Tell us about this new Phone Number Datachallenge in publishing. As I was saying, we began our adventure as authors. The idea of the publishing house was born later, combining a series of observations with a good dose of desire to get involved. In particular, we feel we can define ourselves as different from our colleagues because even today the majority of small publishers dedicated to fantasy tend to ride the wave of "commercial" texts. This is a well-known story.
Now paranormal romance is in fashion and everyone is ready to print - and write - unlikely love stories between vampires and humans or other creatures of the otherworldly panorama. Stories which, let's be clear, have nothing bad in themselves, but certainly add nothing to the book market if published by Plesio Editore, as the demand for that kind of literature is already largely satisfied by the big brands. The little ones are left with the duty - and the honor - of thinking about the rest. To everything that is not currently trendy, but which precisely for this reason has the potential to create a niche market. The reason why our texts should be read is precisely this; because they are rare texts, not easily found among the series that populate bookshop shelves, because they give the possibility of going beyond what, in the current state of things, is served up to the average reader, because they help to look beyond and broaden one's horizons .
