I handed in the final APWOT 5 PDF to the printers today 🎉

Now I have to do everything I can to not look at it again because I know I WILL find some mistake in there and I'll be horrified 😅

Oooh I’m so glad! Yeah I really want to update the APWOT site to do a better job of communicating how crazy and varied all the magazine’s content is. Maybe if there’s some cash left over I’ll be able to finally do that 🤞

This is such a relief and so unbelievably helpful. For a little while I can afford to not have to take on as much freelance work as usual, and can focus more on working on APWOT.

I can't thank you all enough for backing and signal boosting, it has such a big impact on my ability to do this. 🙇🫂🙏

Aaaaaand that's a wrap! 🥳

1728 backers helped fund our reprint campaign to over 620% funded! 🎉

This is amazing. It's wonderful to know how much support there is for APWOT out there, and so heartwarming to be discovered by so many new people! Your support means the world!

Thank you all!!! 🙌

Thanks, I hope you like them when you get them later this year! I think they're all bangers personally, but I'm biased 😉

I write for the first issue of this and helped wrangle writers and interview subjects for the second and third issues, and I couldn't be more proud to get involved. Get on while you can when these go out of print they disappear for a loooooong time
