Print order FAQ
You can read & share the digital editions of our zine anytime for free, right here on this page, as well as on Issuu. To order print editions of our zine, just click the “ORDER PRINT” button beneath each issue in the “ISSUES” section of this page, and our printing & shipping partner Peecho will process your order.
The $20 cost for each print edition helps to pay our contributors for their art, writing, and photography. Each person is paid $250+ for their submission. Every issue of our zine costs over $4,000.00 to produce, factoring in all contributor payments and production costs. We want to continue paying our contributors fairly for their labor, so the $20 price point reflects how we value their artistry, and the quality of the zine (matte cover, full color, etc.). For TGNC siblings who want to purchase a print version of one of our zines but can’t afford the $20 price point, please send us a message and we will provide a discount code upon request.
Yes. For orders of 5 items or more, the per unit price drops from $20 to $18. For orders of 50 items or more, the per unit price drops to $16. You can see the full range of bulk order discount options on each order page, such as here for ‘Migration Stories’.
Team TransLash needed an order fulfillment solution that was reliable, could ship worldwide, and could receive multiple currencies beyond USD. When a local solution provides an affordable option for us, we will consider switching. Send us your recommendations!
