It was over a year ago that we started Katherine Press, and over six months ago that we began publishing the free Katherine Press Review.  We have had a wonderful time reading all the excellent writing writers submitted and we hoped to be able to bring our readers even more great stories, poems and novels in the coming months.

Unfortunately, as so often happens, life gets in the way.  With both of us working more than one job in addition to Katherine Press, we have not been able to give this company the attention it needs to thrive.  With both of our personal lives becoming fuller and more complicated in the last few months, it does not appear that we are going to have more time in the coming months.  We have made the painful and disappointing decision to suspend Katherine Press operations for the foreseeable future.  Hopefully, we will be able to resume operations at some point in the future, but as of today that remains just a hope.

We would like to thank all the people who supported us and Katherine Press, all of our readers, and all of the exciting writers we published.  Without you, we would not have made it as far as we did.  We still believe that this is a transformational moment in the publishing industry and that there are a number of small publishing companies poised to make a big impression.  We look forward to seeing what the industry does in the next few years, but we do not see ourselves being a part of it.

We hope that you continue reading and supporting the work that comes out of small presses, and we thank you for your support and understanding.

Sincerely,

Emily Lahut, publisher
