Yes it’s true! I now have issues 15-18 IN PRINT and available to purchase in the shop (CLICK HERE)
These follow on from our previous print issues (also still available in the shop) 11-14.
Read on to find out what is different in our brand new print format!
Print Style and Format
Issues 15+ are produced with our new ECO print style, they are very slightly taller than the original issues (about 3mm) and sport a gorgeous gloss cover. I have selected a new ECO paper type, not only friendlier to the environment but also it has a wonderful tactile feel to it, I have been getting great feedback about this! It looks a little different from the earlier print issues but I am loving the weight, feel, and gorgeous warm quality it brings to the magazine.
Although the new format no longer has the extra special linen bound spine and stitched pages of previous print issues, I believe you will still love the quality and feel of each new issue, and I am happy to have been able to produce these at a lower production cost, making them once again feasible to produce and share despite the massive increase in production and distribution costs since our earlier print editions! I am satisfied that this is a much more sustainable production in both environmental aspects as well as economic.
Please note, Issues 11-14 will continue to be shipped in the original format and binding (also with the slower shipping times) until they are sold out, at which time I will be producing those issues also in the new ECO format as well.
Shipping
Shipping is included in the shipping price, and will be much faster than previously as I now have distribution points in the USA, UK, and Australia, so they have much less distance to travel!
Subscriptions
While the current tinyStudio subscription is working well for my digital magazine editions, especially with the inclusion of the tinyStudio TV library and Zooms, and will continue to do so, it is not well suited to the needs of a print magazine. I will not be offering Print Subscriptions this time around, instead you will be able to purchase each new issue as it comes out! Make sure you are either a digital subscriber, on the email list, or following this blog, to get notifications of each new issue.
All Digital Subscribers (tinyStudio Members) receive a 15% discount on the new format print issues, plus priority purchasing of new issues on publication date! Non-Members will be able to purchase from 2 weeks following publication.
The current digital subscription is paid on a monthly basis, providing me with the ongoing means to cover monthly production costs in software, storage, and extra costs such as Vimeo, Dropbox Business, and website hosting, as well as being able to pay contributors, and purchase materials and hardware for creating content. You would be amazed at the passive costs of running a magazine (I was!).
Along with the new changes, and addition of print again, I would like to encourage you to maintain your tinyStudio Digital subscription, knowing it is the bread and butter that holds the tinyStudio sandwich together!
