I don’t want to compare ourselves to a larger-than-life pop star whose name rhymes with Baylor Gift, but much like Baylor Gift, pre-sales are the only way to guarantee yourself access to what we’ve made. And those pre-sales end tonight!
Based on how many pre-sales we get, we order an *extremely* limited few extra copies. That’s why we’ve been in your inbox (and your IG/Threads/Twitter/FB feeds) all week. We’re placing the print order in the next 24 hours. If you haven’t already secured your copy of Talk Vomit’s fall quarterly print edition, we’re in the final countdown.
We always include a couple of sweet little extras in the print edition that we don’t publish on the website. Every dollar goes toward funding Talk Vomit (paying for the website, the printer) and toward paying our contributors. Why? Because lit mags are not a great business endeavor! We do this for fun. Because we care about the art and lit worlds and you can’t convince us not to. There’s no real hope for publishing and small presses except that some idiots will continue to wake up every day and say, “hey! this is worth preserving! let’s take the thoughts we think and write them down and send them to people’s actual homes!” We’re the idiots. (Skipped the cheap Baylor Gift joke there; are you proud of me?)
So, if you, too, believe in making the internet fun again in the face of all the evidence suggesting such a reversion is impossible, and if you would like to open yourself to house guests asking you what is THIS? when they see a print copy of Talk Vomit on your kitchen counter, to which you can shrug and reply, oh, that? it’s this zine made by two girls in Massachusetts, I guess. some art thing, then now is your chance.
Sales remain open for the rest of the day on our website, here.
Oh, and you best believe we’ve already opened submissions for winter.
