In a recent email, Small Press Network (SPN), a non-profit organisation that acts as a representative body for small and independent publishers in Australia, has informed its members and supporters that it will wind up its current Board, citing numerous reasons. There is an option for members of the community to reform a board within 30 days, but failing that possibility, SPN will cease to exist.
