Brief Bio
Elizabeth Towne was an influential New Thought writer, editor and publisher. She was born in 1865 in Oregon but relocated to Massachusetts in 1900 with her second husband, William E. Towne.
Towne was the founder and publisher of Nautilus Magazine, a journal of the New Thought Movement that ran from 1898 through 1953, when she brought it to a close due to her advancing age (she was 88 years old at the time). She also operated the Elizabeth Towne Company, which published an extensive list of New Thought, metaphysical, self-help, and self-improvement books by herself and writers such as William Walker Atkinson, Kate Atkinson Boehme, Paul Ellsworth, Orison Swett Marden, Edwin Markham, Clara Chamberlain McLean, Helen Rhodes-Wallace, William Towne, and Wallace Wattles.
Although most know for her magazine and publishing firm, Towne also wrote many New Thought books herself.
Both Elizabeth Towne and her husband William were for many years associated with the International New Thought Alliance (INTA), and served on its board in various capacities. She served as the president of INTA in 1924.
Towne died in 1960.
