I've been working on the concept for Supposedly Zines for about a year and it took long time to evolve and cohere into something I could ship the idea for Clandestine Motives actually came first, although I had to wrestle with that for a while toohttps://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1209186821281705985 …

I'm intrigued by the subscription dynamics so far! small numbers so take w/ grain of salt, but yearly subs dominate, which I didn't expect: - 2 monthly subs - 4 quarterly subs - 8 yearly subs 14 total (I am delighted, thank you and I can't wait to send you mail!)

writing is my forte and I *love* controlling the product end to end, it's massively satisfying, so indie publishing was the obvious direction. also, I'm familiar with the process — I've created and shipped at least 10 zines. & crucially can be economically viable at small scale!

constraints on price that I had to accommodate: - must cover COGs, shipping, payment processing fees, taxes, *and* my opportunity cost (I'm not at a place in my life where I can pour tons of time into projects that don't make money) - must be worth it from customer perspective
