#25: Offline Journal Newsletter : Oct '21
The latest issue #007 is now available
Offline Journal #007 - the largest issue to date at 40 pages
I’m delighted to reveal the latest issue of Offline Journal.
Issue #007 on the overarching theme of ‘THE PRINT’ takes a look at different approaches to making and selling the photographic print today, with a very recognisable print on the cover by Magnum photographer David Hurn.
At 40 pages, this is the biggest issue to date packed with articles and more photography on what’s happening in contemporary photography in Wales. And to celebrate the many festivals and exhibitions taking place across Wales during October 2021, there’s a limited-time deal available on the price of issue #007:
Wales Photography Season ‘21 - special launch price
Available for £8.50 through 1-17 October 2021 but will revert to £9.50 midnight 17 October 2021 to reflect higher print and production costs for this and future 40-page issues going forward. P&P is additional.
Canny observers have noticed the 2-issue Subscription is currently set at £8.00 per issue under the £24.00 Subscriber option - which is inclusive of P&P plus an extended monthly Subscriber email Newsletter.
The more comprehensive Subscriber+ option also locks the price of both issues #007 & #008 (April 2022) at just £8 per issue with inclusive P&P but also includes printed FOLIO Exhibition Posters and Offline Essay supplements plus two monthly email Newsletters.
A full contents listing for #007 can be found on www.offline.wales but here’s some of the the new articles:
