Copy

Welcome to this very special edition of the Dispatch! This week we're taking a break from the usual format to focus exclusively on indie publishing.

Each of the 33 independent magazines below explore a different niche using the multi-sensory experience of print. And the best thing is, we're giving away 3 copies of each title (that's 99 copies in total!)

To enter the draw, all you have to do is click on the titles you're interested in winning (i.e. visit their website). We'll go through our newsletter analytics and randomly select three winners from the people that clicked through. You'll be notified by the publisher next week if you're one of the lucky winners.

Have fun exploring! We'll be back with our normal format next week. – Kai
