Finally.
It’s been a bumpy twelve months for Good Work, the print zine I started last year. After two smashing successes, we got off track and haven’t mailed an issue since… Last summer, I think? Above, you can see the cover of our latest issue, which I sent to the printer just the other day. Issue #4 is nearly ready for the graphic designer (Theme: Mend and Make Do). I reckon we’ll be able to assemble one more issue in 2024 (Theme: Leisure).
After that, who knows? It’s funny how cheap the digital world is compared to the real one. My digital newsletter, Time’s Corner, costs me nothing but… well, time. Producing a single issue of Good Work involves many hours of work for multiple people, printing and postage, not to mention the costs of renting a PO box and keeping the website alive. I’d like to say the finished product is worth it, but it’s tricky to measure success when your readers are silent and distant. The best thing about Good Work (being print-only) is also its most challenging thing. I’ve been spoiled by the instant feedback that comes with online publishing.
