Missed It: Archaia Studios Goes On Publishing Hiatus While Re-Organizing

Archaia Studios Press will go on a brief publishing hiatus while reorganizing the company following the departure of co-publisher Aki Liao for what's been reported as personal reasons. The company will use Ken Light of the DAK Group to help them find an outside investor for Liao's stake in the publisher. Another major goal during the hiatus is for the company to find a way end a series of publishing delays on its various projects. ASP is an interesting company in that it's managed a number of titles with above the fold interest in a market that's not exactly kind to fantasy genre releases: the long running Artesia series, the successful Mouse Guard, and the anticipated forthcoming print edition of the webcomic Gunnerkrigg Court. They're also more significantly partnered with the role-playing game end of the hobby market, with game versions of at least a couple of its series and electronically distributing its work through avenues better known for downloading games.

You can find the press release here. A group of their creators expressed support for the company in a press release available here. David Petersen of Mouse Guard expressed his support here.
