Macmillan publishers announced earlier in November that it's closing a self-publishing platform it recently acquired. This ending for Pronoun, an experimental endeavor, hangs in the air like an odd teaser in the literary world.
While it's been suggested that Macmillan purchased the self-publisher in order to close it down, any financial interest in doing so for the sake of taking down a self publisher isn't apparent. Information seems to indicate that, despite a respectable effort at continuing to offer some form of the progressively-aimed publisher, readers just weren't expected to pick up on the new venture in a way that would support further investment.
