\n“There’s nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction”
\nWinston Churchill<\/strong><\/p>\n

It should come at no surprise that at the new year we would bring some changes to The Hatchet. We love the evolving nature of web and magazine design and have a long history of adjusting the company’s business model to suit the times. We are nothing if not flexible.<\/p>\n

We need to start with an apology, however. A BIG apology. We became sidetracked in 2011. We admit it. I, the editor of The Hatchet, thought that we could publish four issues of the journal plus two of the Literary Hatchet, all while spending 60-80 hours a week running for Mayor of Fall River! (I can hear you groaning at my foolishness.)<\/p>\n

Well, I tried. And while I did not succeed at either\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe run for mayor or the publication schedule\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit was an amazing adventure and well worth the time and effort. But a new year means a new beginning\u00e2\u20ac\u201dan opportunity to make adjustments, organize for the future, and focus on the tasks at hand. <\/p>\n

After long and careful consideration, we at The Hatchet have made a number of refinements. Some are cosmetic (the websites for LizzieAndrewBorden.com<\/a>, MondoLizzie.com<\/a>, PearTree-Press.com<\/a>, and HatchetOnline.com<\/a>), some are behind the scenes, and some are all about business. To this end, let us share with you the following transformation.<\/p>\n

We are eliminating the subscription option when ordering the journal. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Those of you who had paid for a subscription for 2010-2011 will receive the next three issues of The Hatchet at no cost in order to complete your subscription package. You will each be emailed information about obtaining your free copies as they are published.<\/p>\n

If you are new to The Hatchet or would like to purchase past or current issues, there are two ways going forward to own this great magazine.<\/p>\n
