The Future
This issue also announces a change in the publication schedule, from “seasonally” to two issues per year. “During the summer, a slimmer volume will be released, containing our serialized fiction, reviews, and other pieces that simply cannot wait until winter. Each winter we will release a full-length issue, packed to the brim with how-to’s, fiction, theory, and the year’s best of everything you’ve come to expect from us.” The current issue is 82 pages.
