Issue #004 is done and going off to printers
I’m delighted to announce the new issue #004 of Offline Journal in now available to pre-order.
Slightly delayed by the ongoing Coronavirus lockdown measures, the artwork is now at the printers but I’ve asked for printing to be scheduled for the week after next and I should have the finished items back, packed and off in post in last week of April.
This is another 32 page issue packed with feature articles, 3 x exhibition reviews and News on contemporary photography in Wales. I’m excited to have more contributing writers backing the Offline effort to bring new writing, critique and opinion on photography here in Wales - and I’m always open to considering more writers and submission ideas. Of interest? - please feel free to email me at offline.journal@gmail.com
Having announced the new issue today on Twitter, I’d like to extend the offer of a free copy of Daniel Meadows’ Offline Essay titled ‘The Daniel Meadows Archive in nine people’ to the subscribers of this Newsletter. Just pre-order a copy of issue #004 using the button below between now and midnight this Saturday (11 April 2020) and, if you are on this Newsletter subscriber list, I’ll also send you a free copy of Daniel’s essay, written specially for Offline Journal. It’s great reading material, very desirable and collectable!
If you’re not already aware, I’ve committed to only printing 150 copies of issues 1-4 of Offline Journal and their accompanying subscriber supplements (see below). Once they’ve gone - they won’t be reprinted or published online.
