Penny Press Will Shut Down in January (Unless Someone Takes Over)

Big news, friends (or a reminder if you’ve read other posts) : in January, I’ll be stepping away from Medium — which means my role as editor/Owner of Penny Press will also come to an end.

If you’ve enjoyed writing for, reading from, or being part of this publication, here’s the reality: it won’t continue unless someone new steps up to take over as editor.

Running a publication isn’t complicated, but it does take someone who’s willing to do a little behind-the-scenes organizing — approving submissions/declining or requesting edits (if needed) from submissions, and adding new writers. If you’ve ever thought about building community on Medium, this is a great way to do it.

So consider this your open invitation:
✨ If you love Penny Press and want to see it live on, reach out. You can email me at hello@doseofwonder.ca . I’d be glad to walk you through what’s involved and hand things over before I leave.

If no one takes it on, the publication will close in January.

Thanks to everyone who has written, read, and shared here — it’s been a joy to see your voices shine. Now the question is: who will carry it forward?
