In contrast to all the organic photos I shared with you earlier this week, here's the "garden" where the new UPPERCASE magazine is being produced. Joel at The Prolific Group shared some photos from the pressroom for us.
This is UPPERCASE #67 (Oct-Nov-Dec).
The cover is done.
And the interior pages are getting folded today. (Here's a video.)
If you've been thinking about becoming an UPPERCASE subscriber*, now's the time!
Use the discount 'keepgoing' for CA$10 off a subscription or renewal.
Subscriptions and renewals starting with #67 placed this week will be mailed directly from my printer. I know I've mentioned this before, but sending a magazine from the printer is the most environmentally efficient and economical way for me to share it with you.
I'm sure you'd prefer that a larger portion of your subscription payment go towards sustaining UPPERCASE and our contributors than it going to transportation and postage fees.
Another reason to have a subscription now? If you're in America, due to Trump's removal of de minimis, all US-destined parcels that will be shipped from my fulfillment company will be subject to a brokerage fee to clear them across the border, even though they are CUSMA-compliant and tariff-free. For now, I've adjusted US pricing on books and back issues by 5%, but I've still only been given a fee estimate, not an exact cost. When I have concrete costs, I will likely also have to increase the price of US subscriptions and possibly overseas as well, since those are routed through the USA.
The issue #67 mailing list will be finalized on Monday.
Thank you!

It's a simple device that will keep you safe from COVID (and also the smoke that is blanketing Calgary, too). Why breathe it in when you don't have to? Wearing a respirator is an act of kindness.
