One Year of Midnight Donuts: What's Next?
Reprinting our announcement from issue #5
The launch of Midnight Donuts #5: October 2024 marks one year since we launched the zine with Midnight Donuts #1 in October 2023. Since then, we’ve sent zines to 25 states, interviewed more than a dozen artists, and learned a lot. Plus, the support we’ve received has been incredible. Thank you!
With what we’ve learned from the past year in mind, we’re making some slight changes to the zine going into 2025, plus launching some exciting new things!
(Slight) Price Change
First, beginning 1/1/25 we’re adjusting our prices to $5 per copy or $15 for a year-long subscription. This will help us work towards our goals of establishing MD for the long term, delivering quality work to our subscribers, and being able to compensate our team for their work.
Midnight Donuts: Bonus Batch
Second, and much more excitingly, we’re launching a brand new way to put value in + get value out. Starting 2025, anyone with a paid subscription here on our Substack will get a bunch of exclusive bonus content! Let me break it down for you:
Mini-podcasts where we talk with authors about their articles in the zine
Unabridged audio interviews with artists
Monthly FAST FIVE minireview installments delivered straight to your email inbox
An exclusive extra zine at the end of the year compiling all those extra FAST FIVE entries
Free bonus goodies—for example, we’ve already made some really sick holographic stickers that we’re dying to mail you
PLUS we’ll mail you quarterly copies of MD zine at no additional cost
The cost for all this is only $5/mo (or $50/yr), and it’s the #1 way to support Midnight Donuts and keep us going! Click below to opt in.
To be clear, the zine will continue to exist in its entirety only in print. We’re just adding a whole bunch of extra stuff for subscribers who support us in this special way! Put value in, get value out!
Whether you choose to hop aboard all this bonus content or not: thanks for reading and supporting Midnight Donuts zine!
