Only 14 days left in for our subscription drive. What’s that mean? It means we need 30 new subscribers to the print issue in the next two weeks so we can pay for production costs of Issue Eight: Creation. Some of you have subscribed, which is incredible and thank you for that. Some of you have blogged and facebooked and twittered about it, which is equally incredible and thanks for that as well.

We’re closing in on the goal here and the challenge now, the eternal challenge for publishers, is finding and connecting to new readers. If you follow this blog, if you read the stories we post here every week, if you’ve got your hands on a copy of the print issue at some point in your life and you dig the stuff that we do, surely you have some friends out there who would be psyched on it. It would be a big help if you spread the word.

Annalemma has no ulterior motive than creating something beautiful to hold onto for a long time. In a world full of bad things, we’re trying to be something good, something worth investing your time and money into. I believe we’re achieving that. But we can only keep going with the support of our readers. Click here to subscribe for $5 off the cover price.

If ponying up the dough isn’t an option right now and you’d still like to help out, please repost this message wherever you share the stuff you dig. 30 subscribers in 14 days is a totally achievable goal, but we can only do it with your help.

Thanks again to everyone who’s helped out so far for their continued support and enthusiasm. A mag like this is a leaky-boat-edge-of-a-cliff-rickety-house type of operation and it feels incredibly bad ass when people offer a hand to support something that they love.
