Books and magazines, magazines and books! This is what is on my physical desk right now... and the next issue of UPPERCASE magazine (#68) is on my desktop computer.
The next issue is in the very early stages of design, where the content I have commissioned and gathered is splattered on its designated pages. Nothing seems to make sense yet! Do I have enough content? Too much? Is the theme coming through? What's missing?
This is a very necessary stage: doubt, worry, rethinking, rearranging—it's the invisible part of the design and editorial process.
By the time you get a designed magazine in hand, it will feel cohesive and confident.
The discount 'keepgoing' gives CA$10 off a print subscription/renewal.

Thank you for sharing pictures and stories about my magazines and books. I appreciate it so much!
Martice Smith's stencilled clutches are featured in the Snippets pages of issue 67 and she made this video that will bring a smile to your face. I know I'm going to watch it over and over again! You're so sweet, Martice, thank you!
Robin Mahacek is featured in the current issue and made this video. I'm touched when readers make such an effort to share their love of the magazine or how happy they are to be published within. Thank you!!!!
The Glue book is being very well received by happy readers! Here are a few of the lovely comments:

Do you love UPPERCASE magazine but have only heard about it more recently? Did you know that the magazine has been around for 16 years? There's a wealth of back issues to discover—most of which are long out of print—that are now available digitally.

Let's see if we can get that to $2,000 by the end of the month. To date, together we have raised $28,820 for UNICEF's efforts in Gaza. Thank you for your generosity and compassion.
