fade theory is a blog about books, inside and out: print culture, textual history, book arts, publishing news, reading and literacy, typography, and text-related design.
The theorist is rachel j. k. grace: a freelance writer, editor, book critic, webmaster, book marketer, and photography enthusaist. Originally from Upstate New York, I hold a BA in Jewish Studies (from the University of Virginia) and an MA in History (from Florida State University, where I also completed a program in Publishing and Editing). I now live in Tallinn, Estonia (in Europe) with my husband and cat.
You can email me at theorist(at)fadetheory(dot)com with comments, ideas, and suggestions.
