Meet Ann Sublett: Writer, Editor, Publisher

IMG_8096_edited.jpg

Ann Sublett is the founder of Almanac of the Chathams & the Dutch Towns and acts as the publication's sole writer, editor, and publisher. Sublett grew up in Valatie before moving away for college and then spent 20+ years working in New York City. During this time she amassed a broad array of skills including writing, editing, web production and design, social media marketing, digital marketing, and more thanks to stints at Forbes, the New York Botanical Garden, and Central Park. Sublett has long entertained readers with her writing--both professionally and personally--across a variety of platforms including online publications, blogs, Instagram, and Twitter, and has produced written and visual content in nearly every format on the Web.

After stepping away from her career during the pandemic, Sublett lost faith in the immense corporate powers behind the very platforms that had underpinned her 20+ year career. Casting about for something new to do, she delved into her fond memories of zines in the 1990s and created the prototype for Almanac of the Chathams & the Dutch Towns. The first 
issue was self-published in March 2023 and was greeted with immense enthusiasm from readers and business owners, and has continued to be published on a monthly basis thanks to an ever-increasing advertiser and subscriber base.

 

Sublett lives with her family in the Village of Chatham. Which might be in Ghent. Or it might be in Chatham. It's really unclear. It's a Chathams thing.
