The new press is focused on republishing pieces of contemporary Filipino fiction that have gone out of print, rediscovering “lost classics of Philippine fiction whose revival may illuminate new stories of our time,” as the website promises.Can you tell us how Exploding Galaxies came to be?I’d been wanting to start a press for some time, but it was only when the chance to republish Nolledo’scame that it really finally happened. It’s truly a great Filipino classic.
Aside from giving people better access to Philippine fiction that’s out of print and out of reach, what else necessitates Exploding Galaxies as a publishing house?I think that the work we’re doing here in Exploding Galaxies is an expression of solidarity with the rest of Philippine publishers who are tirelessly putting out great classic and contemporary works.
Typically, publishing houses will receive book proposals and synopses, and the editors have to pore through them. What’s the selection process like in the case of republishing? And is Exploding Galaxies doing anything different in that regard?We have a singular purpose at Exploding Galaxies: to publish out-of-print works of great Philippine fiction.
