James says ‘Goodbye’

Dear Patrons,

I regret to inform everyone that after eighteen of the greatest, most rambunctious months of my life, I’m leaving my post as Managing Editor of Flatmancrooked. Elijah Jenkins hired me on in March 2008, and together, despite ignorance and naivete, we cobbled this company together. Flatmancrooked is now on the verge of genuine success, and it pains me to leave. But I’ve decided that for personal and professional reasons I need to focus on teaching and writing this next year.

During my tenure I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing writers and translators, and I’ve made innumerable friends in the industry. But most importantly I want to extend my gratitude to Elijah and Deena. They’re the best colleagues I could’ve asked for, and I’ll miss serving in the trenches with them. 2010 should be a banner year for Flatmancrooked, and though I’ll be watching their success from a distance, I’ll be toasting each triumph.

Sincerely,
James Kaelan
