GRLCHLD Vol. 3 is here :)

Only 50 copies, available starting today

I can hardly believe I’m saying this, but volume 3 of GRLCHLD is actually available.

Officially, she’s on the online store starting at 9am Central, but if you click [[HERE]] you can get one a couple hours early (hehe).

It took me a while to get back into the groove of making the zine. I kept trying to set various deadlines for myself, ultimately failing each time, and feeling discouraged.

I’ve struggled, since starting the zine, with a desire for it to be entirely exclusive in terms of content—meaning nothing within the zine would be available elsewhere—something I did not commit to until this volume, but have finally decided to fully commit to, starting now, and going forward. That’s a very long way of me telling you that everything in Volume 3… is only available in Volume 3, and I have no intention of re-publishing any of the material elsewhere.

This commitment made creating the zine a daunting task. I am someone who likes to make a thing, and if I like the thing, I want to share the thing. I struggled with the idea of limiting myself in what I perceived to be throwing hours of words and work into an ether that probably only a handful of my subscribers would actually purchase. However, it was this same limitation that eventually led me to treat it with more carelessness in an unexpected manner, and allowed a vulnerability I have yet to feel comfort in sharing with the zine.

That’s why there’s only 50 copies :)
