Stephen Shubrai Confirms Final Book and Public Declaration of Love After Announcing End of Writing Career

Author Stephen Shubrai has announced the end of his writing career through a series of Instagram posts, stating that his decision is directly tied to a deeply personal relationship and the release of what he has described as his final book.

The announcement was first made via his Instagram account kafkaintheveins, where Shubrai shared a graphic reading “The End of My Author Journey” alongside a detailed caption explaining his withdrawal from public writing. The post quickly gained attention, generating extensive responses from readers, collaborators, and members of his publishing team.

In the caption, Shubrai stated that he did not begin writing with long-term ambitions, but as a means of processing personal thoughts and emotional distress. He explained that his decision to stop writing was not driven by burnout or lack of interest, but by a conscious choice to no longer make his inner life public. He described the act of writing as having become emotionally costly and said he was choosing restraint over continued exposure.

Shubrai also referenced living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), describing emotional loss as a form of psychological collapse rather than ordinary grief. He emphasized that while he was stepping away from writing, he was not “disappearing,” but retreating into privacy.

Reader and Industry Response

The post prompted a strong response in the comments section. Many readers expressed shock and urged Shubrai to reconsider his decision. Several comments addressed the woman at the center of his writing, urging her to “choose him once,” a phrase that became widely repeated throughout the discussion.

Members of Shubrai’s publishing and creative collective, known as the “Secret Society of Lover,” also responded publicly. Individuals identifying themselves as editors, designers, proofreaders, and marketing staff stated that the publishing platform would conclude alongside Shubrai’s departure. They described the project as inseparable from his presence and said continuing without him would conflict with the boundaries he had set.

While many responses were supportive, some readers questioned the lack of clarity surrounding his decision and asked whether the departure was permanent or temporary.

Final Book Announcement

Shortly before the initial post, Shubrai shared a statement confirming that his final book, titled To Her, With All My Heart, will be released on 15 April 2027. In the post, he stated that he had long maintained that his writing journey would end with the woman he loved, and that the book represents a direct and unfiltered declaration of that love.

According to Shubrai, the book spans more than 500 pages and includes personal letters, unsent messages, and narratives drawn from real events. He stated that for the first time, he did not disguise the subject of his writing behind metaphors or fictionalized muses, choosing instead to name her.

He described the book as both a confession and a farewell, and stated that it would be his final work as an author.

Shubrai has not responded publicly to the reactions on the announcement.

Current Status

At present, no further statements have been issued regarding a return to writing beyond the scheduled 2027 release. Members of the publishing team have indicated that operations will wind down following the book’s completion.

For readers, the announcement marks the conclusion of an intensely personal body of work, one that blurred the line between literature and lived experience. Whether Shubrai’s departure represents a permanent retirement or a prolonged pause remains unclear, but the author has framed the decision as final.
