text: "Peterborough genre enthusiasts" What the hell is that? You make is sound like a publication of the local Star Trek club, not one of Canada's most progressive and successful small presses. Chizine isn't just a press, the national community of writers they have developed and published has evolved into a  movement, a 'school' if you will, that is revolutionizing genre fiction AND CanLit.  As evidenced by the appearance of one of their books on the longlist.  Note, for example, that CZP sponsors an award-winning multi-city national program of readings that is one of the most dynamic literary forums going. If "Peterborough genre enthusiasts" is the best description you can come up with, you haven't been paying enough attention to what's actually going on in the Canadian literary scene.
