You all may have noticed activity on Literate Machine has been pretty low for a while now. This is because of two major events: 1) The party providing the financial backing for the site has gone out of business, 2) The remaining founders of the site were hired away by far more successful competitors — comiXology.

For its brief life, Literate Machine was a wonderful thing, and we made contacts with a lot of really great creators and helped them get their work out there. We're proud of what we accomplished and sad we couldn't accomplish more.
