Why print-first?
As John Hegarty said, "when the world zigs, zag.” We're on our screens more than ever, so we thought it would be nice to deliver you something super exciting through the post—a lovely printed and well-designed piece, written for you, that makes you feel part of the club when you receive it.
Sprawl on your sofa or take it to the park with a coffee and cake. Fold over the page corners and keep them on your bookshelf to refer back to later.
There will be plenty of ways for us all to chat and connect online, but we know that not everyone always feels like attending an online networking event or being on the socials. The magazine is a way to feel connected to what's going on in the freelance world without always being online, but there is a digital version you can buy if you prefer to easily take it with you anywhere you go or to avoid the worldwide postage costs.
