I’m pleased to write that chapbook subscriptions have gone well. My thanks to all you early movers. You enabled me to confirm the viability of the publication for 2022 and in return for your advance commitments, you secured heavily discounted pricing. I’ll honour that price no matter when you confirm your subscription.
