Hello, gentle readers & contributors:
It is with great regret and sadness that we are “closing down” production of Rose & Thorn Journal after nearly 15 years.
This decision did not come easily, as it is always hard to let go of a long-held “labor of love.”
We truly appreciate our wonderful volunteer staff. (You made each issue shine!) Likewise, the talented contributors of art, prose, and poetry. Your works filled every R&T edition with offerings for readers to enjoy. Thanks also to our supporters, fans, and friends.
Our last issue will be the spring issue in May.
We would love it if you would drop by our R&T Facebook page and leave a note.

Thank you all.

Hi Kat .. I guess the time has come – 15 years is a long time .. at least you’ll be here.
Cheers for now – Hilary
It is a long time – I was with RT going on 9 and Angie going on 15 . . .
I’m saddened by this news. You all have definitely had a good run! Thanks for the opportunity to showcase my work in R&T. Sending a hug and wishing you and Angie the best!
We were, and are, honored . . .
Think I’ll just copy & paste your post to my blog. Don’t have the heart to write something new. :~( xo and thanks for everything you did to keep the journal going and looking wonderful.
As I told you on FB – it was the greatest joy and honor of my life to work with you all these years in R&T – <3
So hard to let something go you’ve worked so hard on. Will be missed for sure.
Yes . . . and thank you . . .
Wow, I had no clue it had been around 15 years…wow, what a blessing to so many, readers and authors! Many hugs to you and best wishes.
A long time for an online journal!
thank you, Jessica . . .
